Payroll Rules

Payroll rules are a set of elements that are used to:

• Calculate, accumulate, and aggregate pay items.

• Group and sequence pay items.

• Combine a series of formulas and logic statements into an iterative process.

A rule usually uses one or more elements. Payroll rules, combined with filtering mechanisms such as eligibility groups, generation control, payee assignments/overrides, and supporting element overrides, determine which elements are calculated. After defining your payroll rules, you add them to the main control feature, called a process list. The process list determines which elements are processed during the pay run, and the order of processing.

Each country defines its own Global Payroll rules.
