Segmentation

Segmentation refers to the process of calculating all or a subset of elements in a process list in separate slices or segments. You can segment components of pay based on changes in compensation, employee status, or other events during a pay period. For example, if an individual changes jobs during a pay period and your organization separates components earned in the first job from those earned in the second job, you can set up your system to trigger segmentation of earning results on the payslip when there's a change to the job change action/reason field in PeopleSoft HR.

Global Payroll provides two types of segmentation—period segmentation and element segmentation— in order to handle such situations.
