Set up the rules by which the festive advance amounts are calculated.
Group your festive advance payment rules to create the programs you'll use to pay festive advances to your employees.
Link your festive advance pay programs to specific job codes.
Override any default festive advance setup for specific employees.
Identify eligible employees and calculate the festive advance based on setup, rules, and type of festive holiday.
Review and confirm festive advance calculations.
Post festive advances to PeopleSoft Enterprise Global Payroll.

Setting Up Support Tables and Festive Advances

When implementing the Administer Festive Advance business process, you set up the following tables. These tables are the building blocks for your festive advances:

Table	Definition
Religions	Set up the religions that you associate with specific ethnic groups and festive holiday types.
Ethnic Group	Set up the ethnic groups that you associate with specific religions and festive holiday types.
Personal Data - Eligibility/Identity	Set up the employee's default religion and ethnic group.
Calculation Rule	Before you allocate festive advances to your employees, set up the rules by which you'll determine the amount of the festive advance to be paid.
Job Code Table - Job Code Profile	Link your festive advance pay programs to specific job codes.
Job Data - Employment Information	Change employee festive advance defaults.
Pay Program	After you set up the support tables (including the calculation rules by which you'll determine the amount of the festive advance payment), use these rules to set up one or more pay programs with the Pay Program page. Use these pay programs to pay festive advances to your employees.
