Setup Considerations

These three fields on two pages directly affect the processing of 13th salary payments:

• Field: Calc Average First Installment

  Page and usage: General Parameters Page. If you want to calculate the average for the first installment of 13th salary instead of using the daily rate, select this check box. If selected, the system automatically pays 50% of the 13th salary as calculated using average salary.

• Field: Recalc First Installment

  Page and usage: General Parameters Page. Select to indicate the system should recalculate the first installment 13th salary after it has been paid in advance as part of vacation pay. Since the 13th salary payment is run in November, there may be salary changes that could cause some employees to receive an extra payment of 13th salary.

• Field: Advance 13th

  Page and usage: Vacation Acquis Prd-Sched BRA Page. Select to have the employee receive the first installment of his or her 13th salary at the time the employee leaves for vacation.

  The first installment of 13th salary occurs only once a year. If an employee receives the first installment in advance (at the time of vacation), the employee does not need to receive a 13th salary payment in November.
