11 2 Budget-based benefits selection 2.1 Introduction Due to a collective agreement between employers and employees, employees in the Netherlands are provided with a budget with which they can purchase different products on a monthly basis. The software for budget-based benefits selection covers the complete budget life cycle, beginning with the budget definition and continuing through to the budget redistribution, an Employee Self-Service (ESS) scenario in which the employees can choose how to spend their budget, and the registration of employees choices to make them effective in the next payroll run. In addition, the Employee Self-Service (ESS) scenario enables employees to plan and manage their budgets independently according to predefined choice models. 2.2 Implementation Consideration To use the software, the payroll process needs to be set up on a monthly basis. To use the provided ESS scenario, the overall period to make choices on the ESS needs to be set up from January to December within one year. 2.3 Details You can do the following: Determine the budget an employee is entitled to, based on previous payroll results or based on the simulation of the current payroll results If the budget is changed retroactively, you have the possibility to adjust the budget amount for future periods. Create an easy-to-use Enterprise Self-Service scenario as well as explanatory texts related to the various steps and functions of the individual ESS screens Redistribute the budget after it has been changed retroactively If the budget is increased or decreased, you can check if it is still possible to keep the selected choice model for future periods. In case the budget is increased, automatic payout of the remaining amount is re-calculated. Define different choice models according to which employees can spend their flexible benefits budget Create a default choice for employees who are eligible to receive budget-based benefits, but who have not made a choice on the ESS screen Manage and register the choices made by your employees If you register the choices made by your employees, the choices become effective in the next payroll run SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company.

12 Note It is not possible for employees to convert budget amounts of more than hours into remuneration within one period (month). Example: An employee wants to have 200 vacation days (= 4800 hours) converted into additional pay. This is not possible within one period Budget A budget is a wage component provided to employees to purchase products. For a budget-based benefits selection, budgets are determined on a monthly basis. Note The software for budget-based benefits selection is based on the Flexible Benefits (NL) component. However, the term budget is only used in the context of budget-based benefits selection. It corresponds to the term source that is used in Flexible Benefits (NL). The following budget types are provided: Yearly budget A yearly budget is available during the entire year and can be used within this period of time to purchase products. The budget expires if it is not used up by the end of the year. 36-months budget A 36-months budget is available during the 36 months following the start date of the period in which the budget was registered for the first time. As a rule, a budget of this type is available only once within this period. If the budget is not used up within one year, the remaining budget is carried forward to the next year. At the end of the validity period, the budget expires. 3-year budget A 3-year budget is available during a period of 3 consecutive calendar years. As a rule, a budget of this type can only be used once within this period. If the budget is not used up within one year, the remaining budget is carried forward to the next year. At the end of the validity period, the budget expires. Note The three types mentioned above cannot be used in the UI5 ESS. Monthly budget A monthly budget is only available within the current period (month). If the budget is not used up within the period, the remaining budget is paid out at the end of the month. Vacation allowance reservation A vacation allowance budget should only be used to reserve vacation allowances. However, in Customizing, you can define if a budget of this type should also be available to purchase other products. This budget is always paid out at the end of May. If the budget is not used up by December of the current year, it will be carried forward to January of the following year. Budget reservation (monthly budgets) 2014 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. 12

13 A reservation budget can be used by the employee to reserve a specified part of a monthly budget to purchase specific products (reservation products). In Customizing, you have to relate a reservation budget to a corresponding product. If the budget is not used up by the end of the period, the remaining budget is paid out at the end of the year. With all budget reservations, the reserved amount is paid out in case the employee leaves the company. Structure A budget consists of individual budget elements (wage types), for example, vacation allowance, life-course savings, or additional leave. Depending on the budget type and the employee s personal situation (for example, age), a fixed amount percentage) of a budget element is incorporated into the budget. Integration Budgets can only be spent on products to which they have been related in Customizing. The budget data is stored in SAP HCM infotypes, for example, IT 0008 (Basic Pay), IT 3200 (Plan Flexible Benefit (NL)) and IT 0897 (Flexible Benefits (NL)) Products A product is a benefit on which employees can spend the budget available to them, for example, additional leave, pension, or vacation allowance. Note The software for budget-based benefits selection is based on the Flexible Benefits (NL) component. However, the term product is only used in the context of budget-based benefits selection. It corresponds to the term goal that is used in Flexible Benefits (NL). Integration In Customizing, you have to relate products to budgets to enable employees to purchase a given product with a given budget Choice Model A choice model is a set of predefined options of how a budget can be spent. Within the budget-based benefits selection software, SAP provides the following choice models: Initial model The initial model is freely definable in Customizing. In case of budget changes, the difference amount is paid out to or recovered from the employee at the end of the period. Reconstruction model With the reconstruction model, all budget changes are automatically incorporated into the relevant HCM infotypes. For example, if the employee chooses to spend 10% of his flexible benefits budget on extra leave and 90% on pension, these percentages are kept and the total (changed) amount is adjusted. No-choice model This model corresponds to the reconstruction model. However, it does not appear as a selection option on the ESS entry screen since it is only assigned to employees who have not made a choice in the current period SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. 13

14 In addition, 10 freely definable choice models are available. You can use choice models to predefine the selection options available to employees within the ESS scenario. The choice models you define in Customizing are displayed on the Employee Self-Service entry screen, where employees can choose one model at the beginning of each year. You can define, name and adjust all choice models according to your business needs. Structure A choice is a combination of products that can be purchased and the budget that is used to purchase them. Depending on the choice model selected on the entry screen, employees can make choices, that is, they can spend their budget on certain products. Integration Products are always related to budgets. In Customizing for Flexible Benefits for Budgets, you can define which combinations of products and budgets are to be allowed. Note To make the settings for the budget-based benefits selection, choose the Flexible Benefits for Budgets Customizing tree. Note that in the system, Flexible Benefits for Budgets is used instead of budget-based benefits selection Process Overview for Budget-Based Benefits Selection The software for budget-based benefits selection covers the end-to-end HR process within which employees can spend their benefits budgets. You can define choice models and relate products and budgets in Customizing, determine and adjust the budget each employee is entitled to, and register the choices made by your employees to make them effective in the next payroll run.

Employees specify how to spend the budget available to them by using the Employee Self-Service (ESS) scenario. For more information, see Employee Self-Service (ESS) for Flexible Benefits for Budgets. 4. You create a default choice for employees who did not make a choice within the ESS scenario by executing the Create Default Choice report. For more information, see Creation of a Default Choice of Products. The system updates infotype records 0897 (Flexible Benefits (NL)) and 0854 (Savings Schemes, locked), if applicable. 5. You register the choices made by your employees by executing the Collective Registration report or by using the Administration Tool for Flexible Benefits. In doing this, you release the flexible benefits data for the next payroll run. For more information, see Registration of Employees Choices.

22 4 Employee Self-Service (ESS) in WebDynpro 4.1 Introduction With the Employee Self-Service (ESS) for the budget-based benefits selection, employees in your company can access and manage their benefits choices. Depending on the settings you make in Customizing, your employees can choose between different choice models to spend their benefits budgets as suits them best. By making the ESS available to your employees, all employees have access to up-to-date information about their benefits Features You have the option to define texts for individual screens or screen elements by using the standard documentation transaction SE61. Employees using the ESS can view the different budget options available to them, choose one budget and spend the budget amount on various products. They can perform the following activities within the ESS scenario: Choose one of the available choice models, which defines on which products the budget can be spent Choose the products on which they want to spend their budgets (for example, extra leave, extra pension, vacation allowance) Check if the product choice is within limits, that is, if the amount needed to purchase the selected products does not exceed the available budget Change the reservation of vacation allowances (if defined in Customizing) Display and print an overview of the product choice made The overview is displayed as a PDF print form. Convert amounts into hours (and the other way round), depending on the budget type and the product, and distribute the specified budget evenly over future periods by using the Monthly Distribution button Create and save two different choice variants The system keeps these variants for all future periods. If the choice of an employee is registered for a given period, both variants are automatically deleted for this period but kept for future periods. Display the budget structure, that is, the individual budget elements Display the results of a simulated payroll run Review and adjust the choice made before confirming it Whenever the employee chooses the Review tab after making his product choice, the system checks that the choice is consistent with the available budget. Employees can only make changes on the ESS screens until the registration A General Benefits Information record (infotype 0171) exists for the employee and the employee's SAP user name is entered in the Communication infotype (0105) SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company.
