Concept: Social Security Ceiling Proration (FRA)

Concept: Social Security Ceiling Proration (FRA)

Workday uses the social security ceiling to calculate statutory contributions, such as retirement, Pôle Emploi, and URSSAF.

Social Security Ceiling

When calculating the social security ceiling for hourly workers, Workday takes into account:
  • The number of calendar days in the period.
  • Unpaid absences.
  • Complementary hours.
To identify the hours and absences that impact the social security calculation, add these pay component groups to the appropriate pay component related calculations:
  • FRA Absence Deduction to Subtract from Social Security Ceiling [FRA]
  • FRA Absence Indemnity to Add to Social Security Ceiling [FRA]
  • FRA Complementary Hours [FRA]
Example: On an earning for complementary payments to part-time workers, add the
FRA Complementary Hours [FRA]
 pay group to the pay component related calculation for complementary hours.

Including Nonworked Days

You can configure Workday to include nonworked days in the proration calculation for social security, such as weekends or public holidays. This configuration applies when managing time off configured in business days.
To include nonworked days in the proration calculation, add the
FRA Full Time Off Calendar Days
 related calculation to both:
  • Pay components that impact the social security calculation.
  • Pay component groups impacting the social security ceiling proration.

Workers with Multiple Employment

You can manage social security calculations for workers with multiple employment by overriding the numerator and denominator of the social security calculation.
To override the social security calculation, add pay input for these related calculations on the
Memo – Reference Values for Multiple Employment Overrides [FRA]
 deduction:
  • Social Security Ceiling Override Denominator
  • Social Security Ceiling Override Numerator
When you want to define a social security ceiling of zero, Workday recommends that you directly override URSSAF and AGIRC-ARRCO ceiling amounts.

Medical Jobs with Multiple Employers

For medical workers with multiple employers, you can prorate the ceiling for AGIRC-ARRCO and Pôle Emploi based on the number of daily shifts. To identify the number of daily shifts for a medical worker, add the
FRA Part Time Medical Jobs Proration Ceiling Number of Days [FRA]
 pay component group to the appropriate pay component related calculations.
