Initialize Balances

Balances must be initialized to ensure authentic LEL checks on absences.

To ensure that the LEL check is performed correctly on absences created after the Absence Processing Start Date, you need to initialize the NIable Pay balance for all employees.

Balance to initialize: NIable by Category

Dimension: Assignment Tax Unit, Deduction Card, Insurance Type, Statutory Report Code Period to Date

As the Average Weekly Earnings is calculated over a period of 8 weeks, ensure that you initialize the number of periods, depending on the payroll frequency:

• For weekly payroll, initialize the NIable Pay for 8 payroll periods before the absence processing start date using the dimension specified
• For monthly payroll, initialize the NIable Pay for 2 payroll periods before the absence processing start date, also using the period-to-date (PTD) balance dimension
