Set Up Allowance Earnings Elements

Set up your allowance earnings elements for reporting allowance codes prior to the submission of the cutover and monthly employee files.

See: MyCSP Bonus and Allowance Setup for Monthly Reporting for more detailed setup steps.

Use the Elements task to create your Regular Earnings allowance element.

Most allowances will be flat amount, but a salary-based allowance whose rate can vary between employees must be a factor element.

Complete the information on the Basic Details page and record additional information in the MyCSP context of the Element Information EFF to ensure the element is reported in the correct files.

You do not need to enter additional information in the EFF of an allowance retro element, although doing so has no adverse effect on the reporting of the element in MyCSP.

Enter the details as shown:
