Accruals

Global Payroll for France manages accruals for paid vacation.

Two different paid vacation accruals are calculated: the paid vacation accruals of the current accounting year and the accruals of the balance paid vacation of past accounting years. These accruals are considered future earnings of the payees during their vacations. The accruals calculation also includes the future contributions paid on these vacations.

PeopleSoft delivers, but doesn’t maintain, the elements, formulas, accumulators, and sections used in the accruals process. You must ensure that the rules comply with regulations and with your company’s needs.

Paid Vacation Accruals Calculations

There are two accruals associated with a paid vacation: one for the current year and one for previous years. The formula PRO FM EC CP+CHARG retrieves the paid vacation accruals plus the theoretical contributions that apply to it for the current year (that is, for the paid vacation entitlements calculated from June 1).

The formula PRO FM EP CP+CHARG retrieves the paid vacation accruals plus the theoretical contributions that apply to it for the previous years.

The calculation for determining the accrual compares one-tenth of the annual salary to a calculation based on the Salary Uphold rule and accepts the most favorable amount.

The formula PRO FM TX CHARGES calculates the employer’s contribution rate based on the payee’s gross salary.

To apply a lump-sum contribution rate for all payees while not calculating a different rate for all payees, override the formula PRO FM TX CHARGES by indicating in the override the rate you want to apply.

The calculation involves two formulas. PRO FM EC CP+CHARG produces the paid vacation accruals for the current year and PRO FM EP CP+CHARG calculates paid vacation accruals for the previous three years.

2483 Report and Employee Survey Writable Arrays

The 2483 report is a legal report that is delivered every year by the end of April. This report is mandatory for all companies with at least 10 employees, and records the training expenses carried by the company during the civil year and indicates liabilities for training financing.

PeopleSoft highly recommends that you review the information on the 2483 Report in the PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources 8.9 PeopleBook: Administer Training.

The 2483 computation process requires information from the following sources:

The Administer Training business process in Human Resources.
Global Payroll for France.
Contract data.
Personal data.

Global Payroll delivers a writable array FOR WA 2483 which is populated when the payroll process is executed. The data is available to Administer Training for the generation of the 2483 report.

Note. The FOR WA 2483 writable array is applicable only when the 2483 report is based on Human Resources data.

Defining Writable Array Elements

Preparing and Running the Training 2483 Report

The FOR WA 2483 Writable Array

The FOR WA 2483 writable array contains the following fields:

Field Name	Description
COMPANY	Employee’s company
CONTRACT_NUM	Contract number
ESTABID	Employee’s establishment ID
GPFR_SYSSRC	Temporary variable- character
GPFR_TRN_NVALUE1to GPFR_TRN_NVALUE5	User assigned fields for decimal values
GROSS_AMT	Gross salary for the training report According to legal requirement, the salary definition for instructors is composed of: Employee gross salary before various deductions. Social security contribution to be paid by the employer. Legal taxes related to these salaries.
PAID_HOURS	Worked hours for the training report
PRD_BGN_DT	Period begin date
PRD_END_DT	Period end date
RSLT_VER_NUM	Version number
SEG_BGN_DT	Segment begin date
SEG_END_DT	Segment end date
TRN_FT_GROSS_AMT	Employee gross salary for training full time The GROSS_AMT field returns the gross salary whatever the employee job is. The TRN_FT_GROSS_AMT returns the salary the employee received during the period when he was dedicated full time to the training organization (= training staff). The payroll system recognize full time instructor status if one of the following conditions applies: Full Time Training flag is selected on the Instructor Page, or The JobCode and/or department list is considered to be dedicated to training jobs.

Integration with Administer Training

Setting up the integration between Global Payroll and the Administer Training business process in Human Resources is completed in the Administer Training application.

You select Interface with Payroll System on the Trn 2483 Parameters Setup page (TRN_2483_PARM) and enter the applicable writable array fields. When Interface with Payroll Systemis selected, the system computes the amount by using data imported from Global Payroll and the salary entry field is disabled. The training writable array (FOR WA 2483) is used as an interface between the payroll system and Administer Training. When Global Payroll for France is installed, the writable array is automatically populated when the payroll is run.
