Segmentation

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 and element segmentation. 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. 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.

In Global Payroll for Mexico, changes in pay group or pay entity produces a period segmentation.

Global Payroll for Mexico delivers some segmentation; however, you can alter these depending on your business needs.
