Standard Entry Methods

Create standard element entries for compensation or basic benefits for an employee assignment. For example, you can create a standard entry for an employee's car allowance amount.

Create a standard element entry using these methods:

  • Manual entry on the Earnings and Deductions page. This page displays all records managed by standard entries and payroll calculation components.

  • Automatic entry for all eligible workers

  • Automatic entry by other processes

In addition, the HCM Data Loader is available to manage element entries.

Manage Standard Entries

On the Earnings and Deductions page, you can do these actions for standard entries and records managed using calculation components::

  • Create entries for some elements, such as car allowance.

  • View element entries for a person on the summary page, including entries created automatically by other processes or products such as Compensation.

  • Manage the input values for an entry.
  • View the element details for the entry including the primary and secondary classification and the element category.

  • If the element is costed at the element entry level, specify costing overrides.

  • View the Processing History details about each Payroll Calculations, QuickPay, and Retropay processes that included the entry. To help resolve queries, select a flow name to navigate to the statement of earnings, where you can review all results generated by the process for the employee.

Automatic Standard Entry for All Eligible Workers

When you create an eligibility record with automatic entry option, the application submits a process that creates standard element entries for all eligible workers. This option also ensures that hiring eligible workers in the future automatically creates an element entry for them.

Automatic Standard Entry by Other Processes

Certain processes and actions within salary administration, compensation, benefits, and payroll can generate new element entries. Maintain these entries through the original processes that generated them. Don't maintain them on the Earnings and Deductions page.

For instances, when you associate a salary element with a salary basis, assigning workers to that salary basis automatically creates standard element entries.
