• Message number: 035

• Message text: No wage type exists for comparison net (Sec.23c SGB IV)

What causes this issue?

The employee has an absence outside of continued pay, which requires
special calculation of contributions according to sec. 23c SGB IV.
The decision as to whether contribution-liable income exists cannot be
made, because there is no wage type for the comparison net.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

System Response

Payroll is performed for the personnel number.
The SI contribution calculation is probably incorrect, however, since an
SI allowance of 0 was used.

How to fix this error?

Correct the comparison net.
You can specify the comparison net manually in a wage type. If it is
calculated in a notional run, check the payroll log to determine why it
is missing.
