Ordering Elements and Sections in a Process List

Here are some guidelines for verifying that elements in sections and sections in process lists are ordered logically in the correct sequence:

• Entitlement processing for absences adds to the entitlement balance.

  Take processing takes away from the entitlement balance. If you include absence entitlement and absence take elements on the same process list and put the entitlement elements before the take elements, the additional entitlement balance becomes available for take processing.

• If an array needs to populate data fields before the system can execute a conditional formula, add the section with the array before the conditional section.

• Non-percent rate codes need to be resolved before percent rate codes, so that members of any Comp Rate (compensation rate) code group that need to be used in a percent calculation have been resolved.

• Base pay rate codes need resolving before any non base-pay rate codes, so that the appropriate hourly rate can be calculated and available for any hourly, plus flat amount rate code calculations.
