Modification of Take Elements

You can elements delivered with Global Payroll for Switzerland and most of the count formulas and earning elements that these take elements use with the exception of the PeopleSoft-maintained elements described below.

Changing Count Formulas

The take elements delivered with Global Payroll for Switzerland use predefined formulas to calculate the day count and to calculate the number of units the system uses to generate positive input for earnings. You can select a different formula for the day count or for the calculation of positive input.

The suffix for each absence count formula is unique and can provide information about the count formula; for example, it can tell you how the formula interprets absences that are less than one day as explained in the following table:

Suffix Description

Meaning

B or U included in suffix

B = paid

U = unpaid

These count formulas can be used only when an entitlement element is associated with the take element (for example, work accidents).

If the entitlement balance covers only part of a day's absence, the system generates the correct number of units for paid earnings and unpaid earnings for the same day.

BAL

Use these formulas as day count formulas. The formula CH_AB_COUNT_HOLRED is used by these count formulas to reduce units for public holidays.

The table below lists the count formulas included in the system. An X in the Day Count column indicates that the formula is an appropriate selection for the Day Count field on a take element's Day Formula page. An X in the Earning Units column indicates that the formula is appropriate for the Element Name — Unit field in the Units tab of the Day Formula page. Use the Formula View page to view a formula.

				ELSE
					SCHED HRS * (DAY COUTN PD / DAY COUNT) to formula
