PeopleSoft Global Payroll for U.S. delivers two additional generation control elements that you can use to manage the processing of earnings:

Generation Control Element	Description
ERN GC SHIFT EXC	This generation control element uses a formula to determine whether shift pay should be processed based on the value of the accumulator SHIFT DIFF UNIT. If SHIFT DIFF UNIT is greater than zero, the earning is processed. Note: Use the delivered deductions SHIFT - R and SHIFT PCT as models for using this generation control element to limit processing. See Delivered Earnings.
GP APPLY 1ST SEG	Use this generation control element if you want an earning to be applied to the first segment in a period.
