Steps: Set Up Reclassification Leaves (FRA)

Steps: Set Up Reclassification Leaves (FRA)

Earned income and reclassification allowances are subject to different statutory calculations during these phases of a reclassification leave:
  • Notice period.
  • Legal period.
  • Extension beyond the legal period.
You can set up Workday to:
  • Pay the appropriate earnings during each phase of reclassification leave.
  • Exempt reclassification allowances paid during the legal period from common law contributions.
  • Subject reclassification allowances paid during the legal period to CSG/CRDS on replacement income.
  • Subject reclassification allowances to complementary retirement contributions.
  1. Access the
    Maintain Leave Families
     task.
    Add a new row and enter Reclassification in the
    Leave Family Name
     field.
    Security:
    Set Up: Leave of Absence
     domain in the Time Off and Leave functional area.
  2. Create a leave type for each phase of reclassification leave.
    From the
    Leave Payment Type
     prompt, select
    France
     and then a payment type associated with reclassification leave:
    • France - FRA_RC - Reclassification Leave - No Contributions
      . Workday doesn't calculate the AGIRC-ARRCO ceiling for leaves based on this leave payment type.
    • France - FRA_RC_CONT - Reclassification Leave - With Contributions
      . Workday calculates the AGIRC-ARRCO ceiling for leaves based on this leave payment type.
    • France - FRA_RC_EX - Reclassification Leave - Extension
    • France - FRA_RC_N - Reclassification Leave - Notice
  3. Access the
    Maintain Absence Mapping for Payroll France
     task.
    For
    DSN Rubric Code
    S21.G00.65.001
    , map your company's leave types to the
    DSN Rubric Value
     for reclassification leave.
    Security:
    Set Up: Payroll - FRA
     domain in the FRA Payroll functional area.
  4. Create a separate earning for the payment during each of the reclassification periods. Example: Payment in lieu of notice, reclassification allowance during the legal period, reclassification allowance during an extended period.
    For earnings representing the legal reclassification allowance during the legal period, select
    FRA Adds to CSG/CRDS on Replacement Income Taxable Base and Subtracts from Common Law Contributions Taxable Bases
     from the
    Groups
     prompt on the
    Non-Effective Dated
     tab.
    You can use Workday-delivered instance set comparison calculations to determine when a worker is eligible. Example:
    Leave Payment Type equals Reclassification Leave – Legal Period – No Contributions
    .
  5. Set up pay component eligibility.
    Edit the pay component eligibility on your deductions for contingency fund contributions.
    You can use Workday-delivered instance set comparison calculations to determine when a worker is eligible. Example:
    Leave Payment Type equals Reclassification Leave – Legal Period – With Contributions
    . See Concept: Pay Component Eligibility.
When you process a payroll calculation, Workday:
  • Pays the appropriate earning during each reclassification period.
  • Unless specified, exempts reclassification allowances for the legal period from common law contributions, and subjects them to CSG/CRDS on replacement income.
