Creating New Earnings

This topic discusses:

  • The accumulator structure of earnings.

  • How to configure earnings/deduction assignments and override components.

If you create new earnings, make sure that they conform to the accumulator structure of the delivered earnings. This is to ensure that the new elements are processed correctly and are included in the appropriate gross-to-net calculations.

See Understanding Earning and Deduction Elements.

If you create earnings that use variables or other supporting elements in their calculations, you can modify or replace the standard supporting element override components to facilitate entering the values of these variables and other elements at either the payee or calender ID override levels.

Note: You can modify the standard supporting element override components by adding or changing field labels, prompt tables, and other page elements to better suit the elements that you want to override.
