Enables you to record details of any breaks in service which necessitate the employee leaving the company and rejoining at a later date.

Paging Area

Break Start

Enter the start date of the break in service.

Break End

Enter the end date of the break in service.

Days

The system calculates the length, in days, of the break in service, and displays it in this field. You can enter a different value if necessary.

Break Rsn, Return Rsn

Enter a code specifying the reasons for the commencement of the break and returning to work or select one by clicking WINDOW to display Dependency Selection. The codes available for selection are set up in the narrative category. This table holds all different types of reason codes.

S, S.C, Pens, Rd

Some of the benefits awarded by your organisation may depend on the length of service achieved by an employee; for example, holiday entitlement. In some cases, it may be required for the length of a break in service to count towards an employee’s entitlement to such benefits.

These four fields enable you to specify whether that is the case for the following benefits:

• Length of Service (S).
• General service conditions, including holidays (S.C).
• Pension payments (Pens).
• Redundancy payments (Rd).

To include the length of the break in service (that is, the number of days displayed in the Days field), enter Y in the appropriate fields.

For example, if employees are entitled to one extra day’s holiday for every year’s service, and an employee has had a one year break in service, entering Y in the S.Con field entitles the employee to one extra day’s holiday.

These four fields default to N for breaks in service. N indicates that the break is not included in the length of service calculations.

Rb

Enter Y to extend the rollback period by the selected break in service.

U1, U2

These fields are used for alternative service calculations, which are only used when accessing monetary tables. They work in exactly the same way as the S, S.Con, Pens and Red fields described above.

Enter Y if breaks in service are included when calculating the length of service from the original start date, or the current start date respectively.

AT

Click window to display Service Break Absence Types where you can select which absences include the selected service break in their length of service calculations. This is relevant for absence types where the entitlement changes depending on an employee’s length of service.

N

Click window to display Maintain Note Detail, where you can enter any notes or comments you want to record.
