The rule in plain words
If severance payments awarded during the financial year - number of identified staff is more than zero, severance payments awarded during the financial year - total amount must be more than zero.
EBA checks it for four columns: MB supervisory function, MB management function, other senior management and other identified staff. That makes four checks. A failure names the one that failed.
How the Line4 Check report words itShowHide
The first of its checks, word for word as the report shows it when it fails. The others read the same, with their own column, row or sheet.
MB Supervisory function: If Severance payments awarded during the financial year - Number of identified staff > 0, then Severance payments awarded during the financial year - Total amount > 0
What to do if your filing fails it
- 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02The check applies only when its first part holds in your file. When it does, the second part must hold too: fix the second part, or correct the first.
- 03EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
- 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark R 10.00 as reported.
- 05This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.
