Description

Recipient Group Nbr (recipient group number)

When a transaction takes place between the employer and the recipient, it is common to have a unique identification number representing the organization. Enter the unique identifier which the recipient has supplied to your pay entity. For payment to recipients, the group number is part of the unique lodgment reference that is part of each recipient EFT file.

Associate a group number with the pay entity who will remit amounts to the recipient. This unique ID must be captured and maintained for the reports and electronic file supplied to the recipient.

Commission Calc Option (commission calculation option)

Commission is calculated either for reporting or for deducting the calculated amount (from the total amount transferred). Select the method used to calculate fee processing:

Deduct (deduct commission): The system deducts the commission amount from the payment due to the recipient. Select a Commission Calc Method, either flat amount or percentage.

Report (report only): The system reports the commission amount in the EFT file but doesn't deduct it from the payment.

Once a recipient has been identified for processing and the total amount to be paid is known, the system calculates commission (if you have specified it) and deducts the amount or fee from the total amount. This step is carried out only if the setup at the recipient level (for the pay entity) has been set to "calculate and deduct commission."

Commission Calc Method (commission calculation method)

Enter the commission as a percent rate (Percentage) or flat amount (Flat Amt).

If commission is to be deducted, the appropriate value is calculated and the newly calculated amount is written to the file layout object:

  • The flat amount commission payment calculation is:

    (Payment Amount) − (Commission Value)

  • The percentage amount commission payment calculation is:

    (Payment Amount) x (Commission Value)

Commission Value

The flat amount or percentage of the commission to be calculated. If you select Flat Amt or Percent as the Commission Calc Method, you must enter a value in the Commission Value field.

Note: You should enter the value as a decimal (2 percent as 0.02).
