User Fields

All of the delivered earnings are associated with the following user fields:

• TAX VR RPT TYPE

  This user field determines the year-end form—W2, W2PR, W2AS, and so on—to use to report an earning element.

  Note:

  You define a default report type for a payee on the Payee Tax Profile page. You can change the default by entering a supporting element override for the variable TAX VR RPT TYPE.

  See Maintaining Payee Tax Information.

• TAX VR STATE

  This user field determines the state or territory in which each earning is taxed.

  Note:

  The default state or territory for a payee is the one for which the UI Jurisdiction check box is selected on the State Tax Data page. You can change the default by entering a supporting element override for the variable TAX VR STATE.

  See Maintaining Payee Tax Information.

• TAX VR METHOD

  This user field stores the tax method to use when an earning is calculated.

  Note:

  The default tax method is defined at the element level on the Supporting Element Overrides page of the Earnings component (GP_EARNING). You can override the default at the payee level by entering a supporting element override for the variable TAX VR METHOD.

  See PeopleSoft Global Payroll: Earnings - Supporting Element Overrides Page.

Two additional user fields are associated with all earnings that process shift differentials:

• ERN VR SHIFT GRP

  This user field is used to associate an earning with a shift group.

• ERN VR SHIFT ID

  This user field is used to associate an earning with a shift ID.

Note:

To assign a default shift group and shift ID to a payee, select Global Payroll & Absence Mgmt, and then Payee Data, and then Create Overrides, and then Supporting Elements and specify the values of the variables ERN VR SHIFT GRP and ERN VR SHIFT ID (these variables store the shift group and shift ID respectively). You can override the defaults on the One Time (Positive Input) page.
