Using Segmentation in Brazil

In Global Payroll, if there is a change to employee details within a pay period that might affect calculation, such as a pay rate increase, the calculation creates two slices. One slice uses the details before the change and the other slice uses the details after the change.

Global Payroll provides two types of segmentation: period segmentation or full segmentation and element segmentation or slice. Period segmentation occurs when more than one gross-to-net calculation is required. Element segmentation occurs when there is a change in the rate that affects the calculation of one or more elements. In other words, element segmentation occurs when you want to calculate a select set of earnings or deductions multiple times, but not the entire gross to net calculation.

Note:

Global Payroll for Brazil does not utilize element segmentation.

In Global Payroll for Brazil, the following items produce a period segmentation:

• Changes in eligibility group.

• Changes in pay entity.

• Changes in pay group.

• Hirings and terminations held in the calendar.

Global Payroll for Brazil delivers some segmentation; however, you can alter the delivered segmentation events and add or delete segmentation events depending on your business needs.
