Using Frequency with Rate Codes and System Elements

When you define an earnings or deduction element that uses either a rate code or a frequency-controlled system element, the earnings or deduction element should always have the frequency Use Calendar Period Frequency. System elements are delivered and maintained by PeopleSoft.

A system element that is frequency-controlled resolves in the calendar frequency portion of payroll processing, according to the frequency that is specified for the element when it is set up. The system then de-annualizes by the calendar frequency.
