Global Payroll for Brazil Setup

In addition to the generic, core application setup steps required for absences, the setup of Brazilian vacation pay involves the following, additional steps using the Vacation Parameters BRA page in Global Payroll for Brazil:

• Define all company policies and legal requirements that are related to vacations using parameters.

  Parameters include such information as the number of vacation days an employee can take per entitlement period, the maximum and minimum number of days of vacation that can be taken per leave, and the age above and below which vacations cannot be split into multiple periods.

• Identify the specific take and entitlement elements for which you are defining parameters.

  These are the same elements that you will later use to enter and maintain vacation takes on the Vacation Acquisition Prd-Sched (vacation acquisition period-schedule) page. The only absences that you can enter and maintain on the Vacation Acquisition Prd-Sched page are vacation-type absences; takes for other kinds of absences must be entered on the Absence Entry page for Brazil or on the Absence Event Entry page in the core application.

  Note:

  If you do not specify take and related entitlement elements on the Vacation Parameters BRA page, you cannot enter vacation time by using these elements on the Vacation Acquisition Prd-Sched page.

Note:

You must also upload vacation entitlement periods history during implementation. Global Payroll for Brazil does not deliver a process to perform this upload.

This section discusses only the Brazil specific steps required to set up vacation leave; the documentation of generic procedures for defining absence elements can be found in yourPeopleSoft HCM: Global Payroll product documentation.
