SAP HR - Basic Pay Infotypes
Basic pay information of an employee is stored in basic pay Infotype (0008). An employee’s payroll history can be checked using Infotype history.
In case an employee leaves an organization, the basic payroll data for that employee remains in the system to ensure accuracy of any retroactive account runs to be performed. A basic pay Infotype 0008 can be processed itself with a personnel action. To create a new record you need to enter payment type on maintain HR master data screen.
The standard system contains the following payment types as subtypes −
- Basic contract
- Increase basic contract
- Comparable domestic pay
- Refund of costs in foreign currency
- Local weighting allowance
Pay Scale Reclassification
A pay scale reclassification involves moving an employee to a new pay scale group and to a different pay scale level. In this case, an employee receives the remuneration for the new pay level assignment.
A pay scale reclassification is performed in a payroll period prior to running the payroll. The pay scale reclassification must always take place before the standard pay increase.
To perform pay scale reclassification, go to SPRO → IMG → Personnel Management → Personnel Administration → Payroll Data → Basic Pay → Pay Scale Changes → Pay Scale reclassification → Specify pay scale reclassification.
