Changes to the new work labor code

The legal change of Labor Code Law 23/2012, published in the Portuguese Legal Journal from June 25th, was analyzed by SAP and several customers of the Portuguese user group GUSP.

After the analysis made, the scenarios that had an impact to the system originated the announcement note 1737744.

The changes reflected on the labor code are related to the scenarios described below:

· Generation of leave entitlement without increase (majoração).

· Overtime payment and overtime time compensation change.

· Change of holiday calendar.

Regarding overtime, each customer has their own wage types, so they need to change them in customizing since August 1 to valuate with a different percentage.

The other two scenarios were supported by two consulting notes 1743540 (change of holiday calendar) and 1743538 (generation of leave entitlement without increase).

There are other three scenarios:

· Analysis of stock of working hours (banco de horas): this solution is under development.

· Fire compensation: this solution is under development.

· Impact analysis of unjustified absence in a working day between a holiday and a weekend: this impact can be set in time evaluation schema using the existing tools for that kind of customizing.
