Eligibility Rules

For positive input to be resolved, all of the following conditions must be met:

• The payee must be selected and identified for processing.

  You enter criteria for selecting payees when creating the calendar for the pay period. You identify payees to be calculated when you set up the run control for the payroll process.

• The element cannot be excluded from the calendar.

• The element must be included in a section of the process list that's executed during processing.

• The element must belong to the payee's eligibility group, or positive input must be selected as an override on the Pay Entities - Processing Details page.

Why Positive Input Might Not Be Resolved

If you discover that some instances of positive input weren't resolved during processing, the most likely causes—besides the aforementioned eligibility issues—are that:

• The value of a component of the element's calculation rule is defined as requiring payee level input, but you didn't specify the component's value through positive input or a payee override.

  If you enter positive input without values for the components, the element is resolved using the element's definition and payee override, if any.

• You entered positive input after running the last iteration of the payroll processing calculate phase or after freezing calculations for payees.
