Options for Creating Social Security and Tax Deduction Elements

Elements are created using the predefined element templates.

The primary purpose of the element template is to provide an intuitive user interface so that you can easily create element types and their associated objects such as balances, formulas, links, and so on that are necessary for payroll processing.

Use the Elements task in the Compensation section of My Client Groups to create Social Security and Tax deduction elements. You need to create the social security elements only in situations where you need to make adjustments to the employee and employer contributions. Here are a few factors you must consider when creating Social Security and Tax deduction elements for China.

Latest Entry Date

An element's latest entry date determines how element entries process after a person is terminated or transferred to another payroll. Select Final Close.

Employment Level

Select Payroll Relationship Level, so as to hold the arrears in a balance so that the payroll run can deduct the deduction amount in a subsequent payroll period. The arrears are held at the Payroll Relationship level. This level is the highest level for accumulating balances and pension and union dues are generally defined at this level.

Recurring or Nonrecurring

Select Nonrecurring, which indicates that this element doesn't recur in each payroll period.
