Scheduling Earnings Using Generation Control

Generation control elements enable you to instruct the system to process an earning element based on criteria that you define.

For Hong Kong, you control the payment of an earning by assigning one of three generation controls to the earning:

• OE GC GRA.

• GM GC 13MTH PAY.

• GM GC RSLV ONCE.

For each generation control, there is a corresponding formula. When the formula returns TRUE, the earnings are paid.

For example, to pay an education allowance, the generation control CM GC RSLV ONCE resolves the allowance if either of the following conditions is true:

• The allowance has not been paid this year.

• Period segmentation occurred and the allowance was paid (hence, segmentation status is inactive).

The generation control CM GC RSLV ONCE ensures that the allowance is paid only once per year if period segmentation occurs.
