Link Rate Definitions to Value Definitions

The Rate Definitions created for calculating the Average Weekly Earnings need to be associated with the Calculation Value Definitions.

After you’ve created the absence elements, you need to associate the Rate Definitions created for calculating the Average Weekly Earnings to the Calculation Value Definitions generated by the element template:

• Elements corresponding to Maternity, Paternity Leave - Birth, Shared Parental Leave – Birth: Use the predefined rate definition 'Childbirth absence 56 day' to link it with value definition that was created with the name.
• Elements corresponding to Adoption, Paternity - Adoption, Shared Parental Leave – Adoption: Use the predefined rate definition 'Normal absence 56 day' to link it with value definition that was created with the name.

To link the rate definitions to value definitions:

1. In the My Client Groups work area, select Payroll > Common Configuration > Calculation Value Definitions.
2. Search for 'Value Definitions' prefixed by the name of the element created earlier and the other search filters, such as Name and Legislative Data Group.
3. Click Search.
4. In the Search Results section, select the element '<Base Element Name>_MAT_56DAY_VD'.
5. In the Calculation Value Definitions: <Value Definition Name> page, click the Edit menu, and then Correct.
6. In the Calculation Values section, click Add Row.
7. Enter the From and To range (0 - 99999) and select 'Childbirth absence 56 day' from the Rate Definition list.
8. Click Submit.

What to do next

Repeat these steps for all elements that you’ve created such as Maternity, Paternity Leave - Birth, Shared Parental Leave - Birth.

Similarly, repeat the steps for Adoption, Paternity Leave - Adoption, Shared Parental Leave - Adoption. Ensure that you link the relevant Rate Definition. Select 'Normal absence 56 day' as the rate definition.
