Understanding Earnings Codes and Earnings Programs

An earnings code defines a type of earnings, for example, maternity leave. You set up earnings codes for regular earnings as well as additional pay. To satisfy the requirements of the Pay Group Table component, Calc Parameters page, you must set up default earnings codes for regular, overtime, and holiday pay.

An earnings program defines a set of earning codes that is valid for one or more pay groups and the employees who belong to those pay groups. To satisfy the requirements of the Pay Group Table component, Calc Parameters page, you must set up a default earnings program that includes the default earnings codes for regular, overtime, and holiday pay.
