Step # 1
Menu Path: Payroll>Payroll : Saudi Arabia> Social Insurance> Define Non Contribution Reason

Define Non Contribution Reasons

Use

In this Customizing activity, you list the reasons why the employee is not subject to GOSI.

You maintain the list of valid non-contribution reasons in the Maintenance of Social Insurance Non-Contribution Reasons (V_T7SA11) table. These exemption reasons are then available for selection in the Social Insurance (KSA) (3252) infotype.

If the Calculate SI Contribution checkbox is not selected for an employee in the Social Insurance (KSA) (3252) infotype, it is mandatory to record a non-contribution reason.

You can determine a default value of non-contribution reason to an employee in Customizing activity Determine GOSI Contribution Indicator and Non-Contribution Reason.

Since each employee grouping (based on employee’s nationality) has different contribution rate, payroll function SASI uses the grouping information stored in infotype 3252 to retrieve the contribution parameters for GOSI contribution calculation.
