Multiple Jobs and PeopleSoft Payroll for North America

The multiple job functionality has the following effect on PeopleSoft Payroll for North America:

• Primary Pay Group

  When an worker has jobs in more than one pay group, you can designate a primary pay group that controls when deductions are taken from the worker's earnings and when instructions for deduction overrides apply. The worker's primary pay group is also the pay group for which a consolidated paysheet is built, if you activate the single check feature described below.

• Single Check

  If you activate the Single Check for Multiple Jobs feature in PeopleSoft Payroll for North America, you can produce a single check for workers with multiple jobs across pay groups within the same company. During the Paysheet Calculation process, the system creates a consolidated paysheet for the worker's primary pay group. The paysheet includes all of the worker's FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act) calculations, taxes, benefits, and general deductions for all jobs with the same period end date; check date; FLSA period, if applicable; and payroll cycle (on- or off-cycle). Pay run IDs and pay frequencies that are associated with the jobs can differ.

• Deduction Limits

  Limits for general deductions and benefit deductions can vary by job. PeopleSoft Payroll for North America adjusts the Current Goal Balance for the appropriate jobs when deductions are taken.

• Union Dues

  Union dues are deducted from earnings only when the job that's assigned the corresponding union code is paid.

• FLSA Overtime Rules

  PeopleSoft Payroll for North America fully complies with FLSA overtime rules for non-exempt workers. If a non-exempt worker has other exempt or non-exempt jobs in the same organization, the system calculates the correct overtime for any extra hours worked.
