Companies doing business in Argentina are required to file employer and employee data to the Integral Retirement and Pension System (SIJP). To do so, employers can run the Mi Simplificación (My Simplification) program to capture needed data from the system and generate the corresponding text files:
Working Relationships – Job data for new hires, terminations, and changes.
Complementary Data – Employee’s personal data.
CBU (Clave Bancaria Unica) – Employee’s bank account information (unique bank key).
Employer Data – Company locations and establishments.
Family Dependents – Employee dependents Information.
Global Payroll for Argentina delivers file layouts for My Simplification reporting. The program generates text files based on the file layout, company and time period that are specified on the run control page. When the program is run for the selected file layout, a row is inserted in the report output for each employee having a job data update for Hire, Termination or Pay Rate Change.
Once the text files are generated and reviewed for accuracy, submit them to Federal Administration of Public Revenues (AFIP, Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos).
Global Payroll for Argentina delivers five report layouts to support My Simplification reporting. They are:
Working Relationships File (GPAR_MYSIMP_01)
This file captures job data for new hires, terminations, and changes.
Complementary Data File (GPAR_MYSIMP_02)
This file captures employee’s personal data.
CBU File (GPAR_MYSIMP_03)
This file captures employee’s bank account information.
Employer Data File (GPAR_MYSIMP_04)
This file captures company data.
Family Dependents File (GPAR_MYSIMP_05)
This file captures employee’s dependent Information.
Report layouts are established using the Define Layout ARG component. Each one is associated with a query, which is used to extract employee and company data to be displayed on the file outputs produced by that report layout.
To set up My Simplification reporting:
Create a query to select the data to be included in the report.
Global Payroll for Argentina delivers a list of queries to support report layouts for the My Simplification feature. These queries are created using PeopleTools’ Query Manager; their names begin with GPAR_MYSIMP.
Define the report layout.
The system delivers five report layouts for the My Simplification program. Their names begin with GPAR_MYSIMP.
See Layout Definition Page, Layout Criteria Page, and Characters Replacement Page.
