Defining Generation Control Frequency

The frequency tag element is used to define an intermediary table so that the system can associate a HR frequency (residing in the HR Frequency Table) with a Global Payroll frequency. There are many frequencies that you use infrequently, and this feature enables you to define them through a table in Global Payroll rather than through the HR Frequency Table.

Through use of the frequency tag, generation control is also related to how the system annualizes and deannualizes elements.

When you aren't using generation control, the numerator for annualization is the element's frequency and the denominator is the calendar period frequency. When you are using generation control, the numerator for annualization is still the element's frequency but the denominator is the generation control frequency.

Use the Generation Control Frequencies page (GP_GCTL_FREQUENCY) to define a generation control frequency.
