The eligibility process uses this date. If an employee has not served the probation time by the as of date, the employee is not paid a festive advance.

Calendar Year

Enter the year for which the festive advance is being calculated.

Note. You can run the process at any stage for any festive advance. For example, you could run the Christmas festive advance calculation now for 2010.

Festive Type

Chinese NewYear, Christmas, Deepavali, and Hari Raya

Select the festive advance holiday type for which you want to calculate festive advances. You can calculate more than one—or all of them—to produce information for budgeting purposes.

This section discusses how to view and modify festive advances.

Running the Festive Advance calculation process calculates the festive advance amount for individual employees. After you have run the process using the Festive Advance Calculation page, you can then view and modify the results of the calculation using the View/Update Pymnts by FA Type and the View/Update Pymnts by Emplid components. You can manually add new employees and modify festive advance amounts if necessary.

Note. After you have reviewed the festive advance payment amounts in Human Resources, you can post the festive advances to Global Payroll using the Post/Unpost Festive Adv SGP page in the Global Payroll application—Global Payroll, Absence and Payroll Processing, Prepare Payroll, Post/Unpost Festive Advncs SGP. The GPSG_FA_POST AE (festive advance) posting process enables you to copy the festive advances from the FA Payments table into the Global Payroll Positive Input (PI) tables. You can then nominate the calendar to which the payments are to be posted. Once posted to PI, the status of the festive advance payments are updated to prevent reposting. An unpost option included in the festive advance posting process also enables you to delete the posted advances from the Positive Input tables, provided the pay has not already been finalized.
