Working Through TRC Examples

The following examples illustrate how to synchronize Time and Labor TRCs with different kinds of earnings codes.

Synchronizing an Hours Type TRC (RGR) to a NA Earnings Code (Hours Only) of REG

To synchronize an hours type TRC (RGR) to a NA earnings code (hours only) of REG:

  • Create an Earnings Code = REG with an effective-dated row of 1/1/1900.

  • Create a new TRC called RGR with an effective-dated row of the current date.

  • In the Description field, enter Regular Pay.

  • In the TRC Type element, select Hours.

  • Because it is an hours TRC, include it in Labor Dilution processing by selecting the Used in Labor Dilution check box. The system will also automatically select the Distribute Costs check box. The TRC will be labor distributed and diluted during processing.

  • Go to Map to NA Earnings Code and select REG from the list.

  • Click on the Sync button. You will receive the following message:

    "Do you wish to Sync this TRC to the selected North American Earnings Code? (13500,143) If you press OK then all the effective-dated rows of the selected North American earnings code will be copied over to the TRC table. Any future changes to the North American earnings code will be automatically updated to the TRC table."

  • Click OK.

You now have 2 rows for the TRC, one for the current date and one with the date of the NA earnings code.

The following fields and their values are inherited from the NA earnings code.

  • The Description and Short Description from the NA earnings code.

  • The Multiplication Factor from Earnings Table 3.

  • The Default value of the Add to Gross Pay on Earnings Table 2 populates the Distribute Costs Flag.

  • The Status of the TRC defaults to Active.

  • The Mapping to Earnings Code section displays the pay system and earnings code this TRC is now synchronizing to.

Once you save this TRC, the Send to Payroll Flag is automatically selected for you, as this is a system-controlled element populated when a TRC is mapped to any active earnings code.

Synchronizing a Units Type TRC (PIECE) to a NA Earnings Code (Unit/Override Rate) of PWK

To synchronize a units type TRC (PIECE) to a NA earnings code (unit/override rate) of PWK:

  • Create an Earnings Code = Piecework with an effective-dated row of 1/1/1980

  • Create a new TRC called PIECE with an effective-dated row of 7/17/2002

  • In the Type field, select Units.

  • Select Square Mile as the Unit of Measure.

  • Go to Map to NA Earnings Code and select PWK from the list.

  • Click on the Synchronize button.

You now have two rows for the TRC, one for the current date 7/17/2002 and one for date of the NA earnings code for 1/1/1980.

The following fields and their values are inherited from the NA earnings code:

  • The Description and Short Description from the NA earnings code.

  • The Multiplication Factor from Earnings Table 3.

  • The Rate Adjustment Factor from Earnings Table 3.

  • The Rate from Unit/Override Rate value on Earnings Table 1.

  • The Default value of the Add to Gross Pay on Earnings Table 2 populates the Distribute Costs Flag.

  • The Status of the TRC defaults to Active.

  • The Mapping to Earnings Code section displays the pay system and earnings code this TRC is now synchronized to.

Synchronizing an Amounts Type TRC On-Call to a NA Earnings Code (Flat Amount) of OCP

To synchronize an amounts type TRC on-call to a NA earnings code (flat amount) of OCP:

  • Create an Earnings Code = OCP with an effective date of 7/17/2002.

  • Create a new TRC called ONCAL with an effective-dated row of 7/17/2002.

  • In the TRC Type element, select Amount, when you tab out of the field Currency Code appears.

  • Select a Currency Code of USD.

  • Go to Map to NA Earnings Code and select OCP.

  • Click on the Synchronize button.

There is only one effective-dated row for 7/17/2002, because your NA Earnings Code BNS has the same effective date as the effective date you entered for your TRC.

The following fields and their values are inherited from the NA earnings code

  • The Description and Short Description

  • The Flat Amount is populated into the Per Instance field from Earnings Table 1.

  • The Multiplication Factor from Earnings Table 3.

  • The Default value of the Add to Gross Pay from Earnings Table 2 populates the Distribute Costs Flag.

  • The Status of the TRC defaults to Active.

  • The Mapping to Earnings Code section displays the Pay System and Earnings Code to which this TRC is now synchronized.
