Making Additional Payments

This topic discusses:

  • Using additional payments in the UK

  • Entering additional payments.

Additional payments are one-time payments such as a bonus payment or for reimbursement of expenses. Do not use additional payments for bonus payments that are paid at regular intervals; process regular payments in on-cycle processes.

Enter information about the additional payment on the Additional Payment Detail page:

  • Restrict element resolution to those elements with positive input, or by using a limited element set, depending on the payment type.

    In the Element Selection group box, select Limited Element Set or Elements with Positive Input to restrict element resolution. If you select Elements with Positive Input, the system resolves only those elements for which you enter positive input. This means that tax and national insurance are not calculated. Typically, you would use this option for an expense payment that does not require tax and national insurance calculations.

    If you select Limited Element Set, the system resolves the elements included in the limited element set in addition to those entered using positive input. Typically, you would use a limited element set when the payment is subject to tax and national insurance. Global Payroll for the UK delivers the limited element set GBR EG TAX NI LES for this purpose.

  • Enter supporting element overrides for the variables TAX VR PERIOD and TAX VR BGN YR.

    On the Additional Payment Detail page, click the Supporting Element Overrides link to display the Payee Calendar SOVR page. Add the variables and assign the appropriate values on this page. The TAX VR PERIOD identifies the tax period and TAX VR BGN YR identifies the tax year in which the payment is made.

Additional payments are discussed in detail in the PeopleSoft Global Payroll product documentation.
