Understanding Earnings
The PeopleSoft system provides a number of delivered earnings to demonstrate the flexibility of Global Payroll rules and to meet common processing requirements, such as the automatic generation of a payback deduction for specified earnings.
Note: The User Key 2 field on the Earnings Accumulators page and Deduction Accumulators page for all earnings and deductions is AUS VR BALGRP ID. Use balance group IDs to maintain separate employee balances. Set an employee's balance group in the JOB_DATA2 table. The balance group number must be manually incremented if you are required to record separate balances within a financial year.
In the following table, the first column combines the earning name and description. The code (gc) in a row indicates that the earning element has a generation control. The code (po) indicates a post-processing formula, and the code (pr) indicates a pre-processing formula. The other four columns indicate the earning calculation rule of Unit × Rate, Unit × Rate × Percent, and Amount. (None use Base × %.) The formulas for some of the earnings codes are discussed in further detail following the table. The code (sy) stands for system element.
