Characteristics of Positive Input

Positive input is earning and deduction data that you enter for one pay period. The data—such as hours worked or a one time bonus—is payee-specific and can change each period. You can enter positive input manually or receive it from applications such as PeopleSoft Time and Labor.

When entering positive input for an earning or deduction element, you can enter a flat amount or values for the components of the element's calculation rule. For example, if the rule for calculating a payee's regular pay element is Regular Pay = Rate × Units , you can enter an amount that overrides the calculation rule or specify a value for rate, units, or both rate and units. If you enter values, you can enter numeric values, such as 40 hours, or select a rate code element that retrieves the component's value from PeopleSoft HR.

Global Payroll offers optional features that you can use when entering positive input. You can select the currency that applies to an entry; override a payee's department, job code, or location; or enter information that's specific to your organization and can be transmitted to your general ledger system.

Note:

The data that you enter applies to one pay period only. Set up long-term overrides for elements on the Element Assignment By Payee page or the Payee Assignments by Element page.
