This earning element uses a Base × Percent calculation rule where the Base is derived from accumulator SGP GST and the Percent is derived from variable GST VR PCT.

The SGP GST accumulator accumulates earnings and deductions that are subject to GST. Members include MEAL and TRANSPORT earnings.

You use variable GST VR PCT to enter the percentage to be calculated for GST. The same percentage will be used across the company, so the value will be entered on the Pay Entity SOVR's page. The Override Level for Pay Entity should be ticked.

Generation control GLI GC ACCRUAL, using formula GLI FM LST PRD/SEG checks the last segment of each month and only for active employees.
