MPDV: Precise calculation of premium & incentive wages with HYDRA by MPDV

Premium & Incentive Wages with HYDRA LLE

Application & benefits
A dependable basis for performance-related payroll!
Staff motivation and the fulfillment of collective wage agreements are two main reasons for the introduction of incentive and premium wage systems. The calculation of performance-related wages is not trivial and the cost of calculating them is significantly higher than for fixed wages. This complexity is no longer manageable with traditional methods (e. g. paper wage slips or, manual input).

An integrated Manufacturing Execution System (MES) such as HYDRA provides a reliable system for the correct calculation of wages - automated and without interfaces - using HR master data and working hours, order/operating data, quality indicators and machine data.

The HYDRA module Premium & Incentive Wages (LLE) can be extensively configured for the calculation of wages. This ensures the integration of a variety of wage models without time-consuming programming. HYDRA LLE is familiar with a wide range of remuneration options (e. g. piecework pay, time wage, group piece rate, volume bonus, quality bonus) as well as many other types of incentive pay and deductions. The results are subsequently available to staff and supervisors and are then forwarded to the payroll system once approved.
Benefits of calculating premium and incentive wages with HYDRA LLE
Increasing employee motivation without additional data input
Absolute objectivity and reliability of the data sources for performanceoriented remuneration
Guaranteed fulfillment of standard wage agreements
Significantly less paper usage compared to conventional methods for performance recording
Full transparency for the employee regarding current performance levels
Many business units across the enterprise can benefit from an MES system such as HYDRA. Our ROI Analyzer reveals the untapped potentials that are still hidden within your production processes and will show you how they can be assessed monetarily.
Highlights
Motivate staff through performance-related payroll
HYDRA LLE can accommodate any type of pay model. For this purpose, configurable and flexible calculation and evaluation functions are available. Our formula-based incentive pay offers numerous options to the user. The system makes reliable data available for employees and provides functions to supply information including specific evaluations for supervisors, HR and management.
Highlights of the HYDRA LLE module include:
Automatic generation of electronic wage slips – fully paperless
Flexible data maintenance including additional pay and deductions
Different setup options and calculation algorithms
Meaningful evaluations in graphical and tabular format
Compressing of results for groups and individuals
Transfer of preprocessed data to the payroll system
Additionally, HYDRA LLE can be tightly integrated with other HYDRA applications. Examples include:
Machine data collection
Shop floor data collection
In-production inspection
Time & attendance
As with all HYDRA applications, we offer targeted training courses in order to make the implementation of the system as efficient as possible. In the training courses you will learn how to conveniently integrate your requirements into the system.
Functions
Control on incentive pay
HYDRA LLE provides you with reliable and consistent data to calculate incentive pay for your employees, as integrated HYDRA MES applications serve as the foundation for the data. For example, shop floor data, machine data, quality data and working hours can be automatically transferred from the HYDRA database.

Master data and maintenance functions
If group bonuses or group piecework is needed, HYDRA LLE provides many options to easily assign employees to their respective groups.
Example functions

Static or dynamic group assignment for individual staff
Flexible assignment of machines and workplaces
Group assignment of indirectly involved employees (e. g. forklift driver, warehouse staff or supervisors)
Calculation and evaluation functions
The calculation of performance-related wage shares can be complex and therefore requires exact specifications for their fulfillment. HYDRA LLE provides both.
Example functions

Templates for calculation rules
Simple sets of rules to create specific calculation algorithms
Definition of comprehensive rules for wage types
Comprehensive functions to check and correct postings
Overviews, reports and evaluations
Employees rewarded with performance-related wages want to know how the results are achieved. Field-proven evaluations in HYDRA LLE enable convenient control of all collected data.
Example functions

Sortable lists containing all wagerelated events (assignment list)
Clear display of all automatically generated wage slips
Notes referring to anomalies and required corrections
Presentation of daily and monthly results focusing on target groups
Clear presentation of group performance development
Personal evaluations
Integration of specific requirements
Because every manufacturing company has unique requirements, the setup for HYDRA LLE is highly flexible, while still being able to take advantage of a standard software implementation.
Further details

HYDRA LLE can be configured via extensive master data and flexible settings without the need for custom programming:
Master data is used generally to avoid redundancies
Consideration of specific processing characteristics
Flexible configuration of supplements and reduction reasons
Flexible configuration of premium groups
Definition of any calculation model based on formulas
Configuration of plausibility checks for manually recorded data
Configurable interface for common payroll systems
Modern development tools are available to the user for a detailed personalization in the form of customer-specific functions, evaluations and displays in HYDRA LLE.
Reliable data basis and integration with other MES applications
Extracting correct data is especially important for data relating to staff and payment. Through integration into an MES system, existing data can be reused.
Further details

Integration into shop floor and machine data collection
Automatic transfer of collected shop floor data (e. g. actual piece numbers)
Automatic transfer of collected machine data (e. g. quantities)
Use of machine status and times to calculate machine operator bonuses
Integration with in-production inspection
Integration of quality-related data (e. g. scrap rates) from CAQ applications
Integration into time & attendance and personnel time management
Comparison of attendance times with productive and overhead times
Use of master data that influences the calculation results
