Define Payroll Elements for Absence Accrual Plans that Enable Donating to a Pool

This example shows how to define an absence element for a vacation accrual absence plan that's enabled for donating to a donation pool.

Based on your setup decisions, this procedure configures these additional elements:

• Accrual element to process absence liability amounts

• Entitlement element to process payments for absence during vacation

• Discretionary disbursement element to process disbursement of partial time accruals

• Final disbursement element to process accrual disbursement when the absence plan enrollment ends

• Donation pool element to process donations from an employee to a donation pool

The name of the element is prefixed to each additional element.

Note:

Each absence accrual plan will have its own, specific accrual element defined. The element you define for an accrual plan shouldn't be used across multiple plans. You can't map one element to multiple accrual plans.

This table summarizes key decisions for this scenario.
