Restrict Payroll Processing
Select rules to control which payroll relationships and which elements to process in a payroll run. For example, a skip rule or frequency rule.
Specify flow parameters when you submit the calculation process to restrict the payroll relationships and further restrict the elements that the payroll run processes. For example, Calculate Payroll or Calculate Gross Earnings.
Restrict the Elements Processing Based on Rules
When you create an element, specify eligibility rules that control who's eligible to receive an element. You can also create skip and frequency rules that control which recurring elements the payroll run processes.
Rules |
Use To |
Examples |
---|---|---|
Skip |
Determine whether to include or exclude the element entry for the person using rules in a formula |
A once-each-period rule stops recurring element entries from processing more than once in a payroll period. |
Frequency |
Specify which payroll periods to process the entries |
A frequency rule might specify that the formula processes an element only on the first and third weeks of a month. |
Restrict the Records to Process Based on Flow Parameters
As this table shows, specify flow submission parameters to restrict the number of records for the calculation process.
Parameter |
Use To |
---|---|
Payroll Relationship Group |
Restrict processing to the payroll relationships within the group, which you can define using static or dynamic rules, based on payroll relationship or assignment information. |
Element Group |
Restrict processing to the elements in the group, which you can define by selecting element classifications and including or excluding specific elements. |
Run Types |
Determine which payroll calculations to perform and how to pay the results. For China, the application processes an element only in the Regular run type. |
This table shows the flow submission parameters for the calculation process including dates that control which records to process:
