Multiple Resolutions

In Global Payroll you can cause an element to resolve multiple times in a single segment by:

• Entering positive input for an element using an Action Type of Additional, Override, or Resolve to Zero.

  When you enter additional positive input for an element, the element resolves once using the element's rule definition—or if there are element overrides, by using the override values. The element resolves again using the values associated with the additional- type instance of positive input.

  If there is more than one additional positive input entry, the system assigns a different instance number to each entry to trigger multiple resolutions of the element.

  When you enter multiple positive input overrides, the system processes them separately, using instance numbers to trigger multiple resolutions.

• Entering multiple instances of an element on the element assignment pages.

  For example, you can enter the same garnishment multiple times for the same periods. The system assigns an instance number to each entry and processes each one separately.

  You can also define user fields to track different resolutions of an element (for example, you can define a user field called Garnishment Number to distinguish different resolutions of a garnishment element).

• Defining an accumulator driver to trigger multiple resolutions of an earning or deduction. For each instance of the accumulator, there is a corresponding resolution of the earning or deduction.

• When an element segmentation trigger that applies to an earning or deduction exists, there is a separate resolution for each slice of the element.
