Defining Valuation

To define valuation, use the Valuations component (VC_VALUATION).

For non-monetary plans and stock plans, set up a valuation ID on the Valuations page. Assign a value to the valuation ID, which represents the value of one unit of the award under the plan (expressed in the currency that you specify). If you change the value of a valuation ID, the system uses the value on the Valuation ID maximum effective-dated row that is equal to or less than the payout period end date.

When the system reports the value of awards under a non-monetary plan or stock plan, it calculates the value by multiplying the number of units awarded to the member (determined by the payout formula and other factors) by the value per unit as defined by the valuation ID. Depending on the plan's business rules, the award value attributed to the worker's compensation package might be reduce d by a proration factor, performance factor, or adjustment factor.

Because of the nature of stock prices, the stock value calculated in this way is used for variable compensation reporting only, because it might not reflect the true value of the stock options at a particular time.

For non-monetary-type plans, the value calculated with the valuation ID is used for payroll tax reporting, as well as data reporting through the Variable Compensation business process.
