SafetySuite collects all information required to automate the calculation of Weekly Payments. This includes the automation of AWE, Capacity to Work Values, absences in a period, absences to-date, and automation of Current Weekly Earnings.
Based on the claim details and configured rules about threshold periods (and definition of weeks), and statutory minimum and maximum amounts; the weekly payment function determines for each pay cycle what is to be paid for under threshold, legislative and make-up pay components. Once approved, these are automatically allocated to their respective wage-types in SAP payroll for inclusion in payroll.
SafetySuite can interrogate the results in a payroll system with the push of a button returning AWE split between Normal, Overtime, Allowance and other configured amounts.
In determining AWE, a warning pop-up may appear explaining any occurrences that may differentiate the returned statistical average figure from “normal and reoccurring”. The user can then perform the necessary analysis and override both the legislated and make-up pay calculated figures for use in the automated weekly pay calculations.
To determine the Current Weekly Earnings for automated calculation, SafetySuite runs a payroll simulation in the background for the relevant claimants.
As SafetySuite utilises the SAP time management and payroll functionality, all leave accrual rules and retrospective payroll functionality are enabled as they would normally be in SAP.
SafetySuite calculates weekly payments by applying data from SAP payroll, Time Management and SafetySuite Claim Data to configured judicial rules stored in SafetySuite tables. These reference tables are all date delimited to allow updates as the requirements evolve. Simple changes to threshold periods, percentages and statutory amounts are simple configuration updates and can be implemented well before their effective date.
