Positive Input with Segmentation

Like payee level overrides, positive input enables you to override the value of an element in a pay period. And like payee overrides, positive input uses begin and end dates (the begin and end dates are optional with positive input). Thus, when a calendar pay period has period or element segmentation, positive input is assigned to a segment or slice based on the end date of the instance. Unlike payee overrides, positive input is applied only to a single element or slice and is never prorated. Other rules that affect the assignment of positive input are:

• If the begin and end dates of the instance precede the calendar begin date, positive input is assigned to the first segment or slice.

• When no begin or end date is specified for the instance, the system assigns the instance to the last segment or slice in the pay period.

  It's assumed that the end dates for the instance and calendar are the same.
