Understanding User Fields

This topic discusses:

• User fields for new taxable earnings.

• User fields for new earnings that calculate or affect shift differential pay.

User Fields for New Taxable Earnings

If you create new taxable earnings, you should associate them with the same tax-related user fields used to define the delivered earnings. These are TAX VR RPT TYPE, TAX VR STATE, and TAX VR METHOD. In addition, all taxable earning accumulators should include these variables as user keys.

User Fields for New Earnings that Calculate or Affect Shift Differential Pay

If you define new earnings that calculate or affect shift pay, you should associate them with the same shift-related user fields used to define WAGES, REGULAR, SHIFT - R, SHIFT PCT, and the overtime earnings. These are ERN VR SHIFT GRP and ERN VR SHIFT ID. In addition, all accumulators for earnings that process or affect shift differentials should include these variables as user keys.
