Triggers

In Global Payroll, triggers are used to detect online changes to data that should result in some type of system action. Examples of common data changes that might use triggers are the hiring of a new payee, a change in pay rate, or a change in job location.

Three types of triggers exist: iterative, segmentation, and retro triggers.

PeopleSoft Global Payroll for Spain delivers triggers as sample data. Review the delivered triggers and adjust existing triggers, or define your own triggers based on your company's needs.

Segmentation Triggers with Earning and Deduction Assignments

In Global Payroll you can define segmentation triggers only for effective-dated records, with one exception: you can define segmentation triggers for the begin and end dated earning and deduction assignment record GP_PYE_OVRD. This exception enables you to assign an earning or deduction to a payee on the Element Assignment by Payee (GP_ED_PYE) or Payee Assignment by Element (GP_ED_ELEM) components, and to segment (and prorate) the element when the assignment begin date comes after the pay period begin date, the assignment end date comes before the period end date, or both.

PeopleSoft Global Payroll for Spain has set up the following earnings so that the system automatically segments and prorates them (using the proration factor defined on the earning definition pages) when the assignment period covers only a portion of the pay period:

Element Name	Type	Description
RETJ ALIM	Deduction	Children Support Garnishment
RETJ CNYG	Deduction	Spouse Support Garnishment
RETJ JUDCL	Deduction	Garnishment
RETJ ALIM ND	Deduction	Not Deduced Child Garnishment
RETJ CNYG ND	Deduction	Not Deduced Spouse Garnishment
DIETA EXPTR	Earning	Maintenance Expatriates
PRNCTA EXPTR	Earning	Overnight Stay Expatriates
NOCTURNIDAD	Earning	Nighttime Complement
FESTIVIDAD	Earning	Festivity Complement
INCENTIVOS	Earning	Incentives
TOXICIDAD	Earning	Toxicity/Hazardous Complement
PRTCPCN BEN	Earning	Profit Participations Complement
BECA INVESTN	Earning	Scholarship Holder
PREJUBILACN	Earning	Preretired Income
DEV SS PREJ	Earning	Social Security Paid by Employee
GASTOS BECA	Earning	Scholarship Holder Expenses

If you want to set up additional earnings and deductions to trigger segmentation and proration when they are assigned to payees and the assignment period covers only a portion of the pay period, access the Trigger Definitions component (GP_TRGR_SETUP) and add these elements to the segmentation trigger definition for the GP_PYE_OVRD record.

In the case of deductions or nonbasic earnings, you also need to specify formula GEN FM SEGMNTCN as a post-process formula and specify the proration to use. PeopleSoft Global Payroll for Spain delivers GEN PO DIAS SLICE that you can use or modify, or you can create a new formula to fit your requirements.
