When you set up a table based on months of service, the system uses only whole numbers for the lower and upper limits.
For example, the system reads the above limits as:
0 to 5
6 to 11
12 to 83
84 to 179
180 to 9,999,999
The system considers the months between the specified date and the payroll date, not the number of days. The system does not convert number of days to months. For example, the system would calculate months of service as follows:
Start Date = 1/15 and Pay Date = 1/31
The system calculates one month of service. The employee started in January and was paid in January.
Start Date = 1/15 and Pay Date = 2/15
The system calculates two months of service. The employee started in January and was paid in February.
You might want to set up a calculation table based on different amounts based on pay periods worked. For example, you might want to split a 75.00 a month health insurance premium between two pay periods.
The following list shows the information to enter on each line of the calculation table:
Line | Description |
---|---|
Line one for the first pay period | Lower Limit = 1
Upper Limit = 1 Amount/Rate = 40 |
Line two for the second pay period | Lower Limit = 2
Upper Limit = 2 Amount/Rate = 35 |
Based on this calculation, the system deducts 40.00 the first pay period and 35.00 the second pay period.
