Earnings Tables

The system calculates earnings based on information that you enter in the Company table, Earnings table, Special Accumulator table, Shift table, and Pay Group table.

The Earnings table is the basis for calculating and taxing earnings, although some of the information in the table depends on special accumulator codes and shift information. In the Earnings table, you define how to tax, calculate, and adjust each type of earnings (such as regular, overtime, and sick). You also define how earnings types affect other balances, such as leave accruals. Use the Special Accumulator table to accumulate earnings to use later in deduction calculations, such as a savings deduction based on a percentage of regular and overtime pay only. The Shift table works in conjunction with the Earnings table to calculate shift premiums.

Note:

The information that you define in the Earnings table affects several fields on paysheets: regular hours, overtime hours, regular earnings, and additional earnings, and tax methods. You can override most of this data on the paysheet, depending on how you define it in the Earnings table.
