Resolution
  • Only Pension or Provident Funds can be a Hybrid Fund
  • When adding a Retirement Fund refer to the Help alongside each step for more information
  • If the Company has a Pension and a Provident Fund with the same Retirement Funding Company, E.g.: Old Mutual Pension Fund and Old Mutual Provident Fund, set up two separate Retirement Funds, one under Pension Fund and one under Provident Fund.
  • From the main screen of the company go to Payroll>Definitions>Retirement Funds
  • Select if it is a Pension or Provident Fund
  • Click on Fund Setup: Step by Step Guide
  • Select Step 1: Define Fund and complete the relevant information
  • Click on continue and select Step 2: Define Scheme Name
  • A Retirement Fund will have Retirement Schemes to which the Employee belongs and to which they must be linked.
  • A separate Scheme must be created if the Type of Fund, Category Factor or Retirement Funding Components differ.
  • Double click on the Scheme for which you would like to add information
  • Complete the relevant information
  • Type of fund will be Hybrid

  • Category factor to be completed as provided on the contribution certificate
  • Click on continue and select Step 3: Define Scheme Components
  • Double click on the scheme
  • A single Scheme can have more than one set of Components and a single Component Code can be made up of several Deduction and Company Contribution lines.
  • The system will ONLY display Deduction and Company Contribution lines that have the applicable IRP5 Codes (4001 – Pension, 4003 – Provident, 4006 – Retirement Annuity) linked on the Deduction Definition Screen. Only approved funds should be set up on the Deduction Definitions Screen with their corresponding IRP5 Codes
  • Double click to change the No to Yes to line the respective line

            

  • Click on continue and select Step 4: Define RFI Components
  • Retirement Funding Income is only used for Defined Benefit and Hybrid Funds to calculate the Fringe Benefit portion of the Scheme.
  • RFI can be calculated in one of three ways:
  • Define RFI: You can select specific Earning, Perk Tax or Company Contribution lines.

           

  • RFI Method: You can select to use an RFI Method of Calculation from a list of methods already set up. Before selecting RFI Method to determine the RFI components, go to Methods of Calculation under Payroll>Definitions to ensure that there is an RFI Method set up and that it is referring to the correct fields.

            

  • Earning Definition Setup: This is the default option and refers to the RFI Linking on the Earning Definitions Screen. The linking seen here is simply a display of the linking made on the Earning Definitions Screen and cannot be changed on this screen.

             

  • Once finished click on continue.
  • The fund has now been set up.
