Templates

Enter the name of the payslip template that the system uses for this pay group.

Salary Packaging

Select the default pay frequency for the salary-packaged employees in the pay group. An equivalent field exists in Human Resources in case an organization uses Human Resources but not Global Payroll. The pay frequency that you enter here appears by default as the pay frequency on the Salary Packing Pay Calendar Table page.

Leave Paid in Advance

Within the general structure of Global Payroll calendars, periods, and calendar groups, the system has to determine the calendar group in which an advance should be paid. To determine the appropriate calendar group, the system looks for a calendar that uses the organization's regular run type, which you identify in the Regular Run Type field on this page. A calendar group can contain multiple calendars, each with potentially different periods and payment dates. In determining the calendar group in which to include an advance, the system also looks at the calendars in the group to see when they are being paid.

The following diagram illustrates the selection of the correct calendar. In this example, a leave begins on January 18, 2001. In the January calendar group, the Q4BONUS calendar with a January 15 payment date cannot be used because its run type is Bonus rather than Regular, and the JANPAY calendar with a January 30 payment date cannot be used because the system is configured to make the payment before the absence begins. Therefore, the system must go back to December and look at the DECPAY calendar in the December calendar group. This calendar has a Regular run type and a pay date of December 12, 2000, so it is used to make the advance payment.

Note: In the example, the Advance Type page shows that the Advance Calendar Group for the advance type is Payment Prior to Absence Begin (PPAB). This refers to a payment date that is prior to the absence begin dateā€”not a payment period that is prior to the absence begin date. For the prior payment period, you use the Period Prior to Absence option.

This diagram shows an example of selecting the calendar group in which to pay a leave advance.
