Field or Control

Description

Periods

If the loan will be repaid over a period of time, you'll specify the number of periods here. If you don't know the fixed amount of a loan payment, but you know the number of periods required to discount the total amount, then you can generate your loan schedule based on the number of periods. In other words, you will define either the Periods field or theAmount field, but not both.

Amount

If the loan is a fixed amount (for a one-time repayment), enter the amount here. If you don't know the total number of periods required to discount the total amount, but you know the discount to take off each period, then you can generate your loan schedule based on the number of periods to determine the payment amount each period.

Begin Date

Enter the date on which the loan repayment begins. The begin date must be after the loan date.

Frequency

Specify the frequency of the loan repayment. Values are Biweekly, Monthly, Semimonthly, and Weekly.

Create Schedule

If you selected a Company Loan (PRESTAMO CIA) or a FONACOT Loan (PRES FONACOT), click the Create Schedule button. When you clickCreate Schedule, the loan schedule is automatically created in one row indicating Begin Date, End Date and Payment Amount.

Field or Control

Description

Begin Date/End Date

Enter the begin and end dates for the period of time on which the payment amount is valid.

Instance Number

The system automatically populates this field, establishing the sequence based on the payee and loan type. This enables you to assign more than one loan of the same type to a payee.

Payment Amount

If you selected Amount in thePayment Type field, thePayment Amount field appears. Enter the flat amount that is to be deducted from an employee's payslip.

x Min Wages (times minimum wages)

If you selected X Minimum in thePayment Type field, thex Min Wages field appears. Enter the number of minimum wages that will be the payment for each period.

Infonavit % (percentage)

If you selected Percentage in thePayment Type field, theInfonavit % field appears. Enter the percentage that is to be deducted from an employee's payslip. Typically, this is 20%, 25%, or 30%. If the loan was granted before January 30, 1998, the system looks up the value on the INFONAVIT Loans Percentage page and retrieves the corresponding discount. Otherwise, it will discount the percentage entered. For example, let's say that an employee has a loan granted on January 1, 1997 with a 20% discount, an SDI of 100, and a minimum daily salary of 42.15 MXN. The number of times the minimum wage that the employee's salary is will be calculated as 100/42.15 = 2.3724792. When the system is processing the loan data, it looks up the value entered on the INFONAVIT Loans Percentage page and sees that the number of times the minimum wage of 2.37 for a loan at 20% has a discount of 15.70%.
