Automatic Social Insurance Calculation Card Creation for Kuwait

If the value of your country extension setting in the Manage Features by Countries or Territories page is either Payroll or Payroll Interface, an employee social insurance calculation card is created automatically when a new payroll relationship is created.

You can use the Manage Personal Calculations task in the Payroll Calculation work area to view and update the card as required.

Let's look at the aspects of automatic creation:

  • Calculation components and component details

  • Association and association details

  • Element entries

Calculation Components and Component Details

Here's a look at the details that the automatically created card contains.

Note: Automatic calculation card creation occurs only if citizenship is specified for the employee.

If you have specified the employee citizenship in the Person Information during the new hire process, then this value is defaulted in the automatically created card. If you haven't specified the citizenship, you must create the calculation card using HCM Data Loader and update the citizenship information.

If the employee isn't registered for Social Insurance, even though a Social Insurance Number is available, the card is created. You can manually amend this information on the card. You can create these additional calculation component details, if required:

  • Social Insurance Contributory Salary Override

  • Social Insurance Contributory Salary Adjustments

Associations and Association Details

The calculation card is automatically associated to the default tax reporting unit (TRU), for which the payroll relationship is created. Keep in mind that you can associate the calculation card and all the employment terms with only one TRU. If more than one TRU is associated with the payroll relationship, the one flagged as the main TRU is used.

Element Entries

An element entry for the Social Insurance component is created automatically when the card is created, provided you have defined the eligibility for those elements and the employee meets the eligibility criteria.
