Setup Considerations for DBAs

Before you set up DBAs for your company, consider the functions that you want the DBA to perform:

• Which method should the system use to calculate the DBA?

• When will the system calculate the DBA?

• What are the effective dates for the DBA?

• Should the system pass the information to the general ledger?

• Do you want to base the calculation for the DBA on another DBA or on a pay type?

• Should the deduction be in arrears in a negative pay situation?

• Is accrued leave time available to an employee immediately?

• Should an accrual balance roll over into the next year?

• Should taxes be calculated for this DBA?

• Do you want to set up limits for the DBA?

• Is the DBA mandatory or voluntary?
