• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 5Z - IS-HR/PSG Public Sector Payroll - Germany

• Message number: 530

• Message text: Inactive period until &1: previous employment not included

What causes this issue?

During the period in which the current pay scale group and pay scale
level apply, there is a period for which the status <ZK>Employment</> in
the <ZK>Actions</> infotype does not have the value 3 (active).
This indicates that the employee was previously employed in the same pay
scale group and level prior to the current employment relationship.

System Response

The previous employment period is not included when the pay scale level
period is determined. The pay scale leave period for the automatic pay
scale level increase starts when the last employment relationship begins
in the evaluation period.

How to fix this error?

If the previous employment period is to be included in the same pay
scale level and an earlier pay scale level increase is to take place as
a result, enter the date of the pay scale level increase in the
<DS:DE.STVOR>Next Increase</> field in the <ZK>Basic Pay</> infotype
(0008).
