Calculating Salary Accrual

You use SAL ACCRUAL to accrue a percentage of earnings.

This earning element uses a Base × Percent calculation rule where the base is derived form accumulator SGP GROSS and the Percentage is derived from variable GLI VR ACCRUAL PCT.

Variable GLI VR ACCRUAL PCT enables you to enter the percentage to be accrued. The value will normally be entered on the Pay Calendar SOVR's page as it will depend on the number of days between the end of the pay period and the end of the month. So, the Override Level for Pay Calendar should be ticked.

Accruals need to be calculated only in the last segment of each month and only for active employees. Generation control GLI GC ACCRUAL therefore includes the formula GLI FM LST PRD/SEG which returns a value that determines whether to pay the SAL ACCRUAL earning.

SAL ACCRUAL contributes to the SAL ACCRUAL_FPTDA accumulator.
