Create Information Element for Maternity Absences

You need to create an information element to capture the calculated value for maternity benefit.

To create a new information element:

Navigation: My Client Groups > Payroll > Elements

1. Click Create and complete the fields as shown here:

   Field	Value
   Legislative Data Group	Ireland
   Primary Classification	Information

   Note: When you select the primary classification the associated category name is automatically displayed.
2. Continue to the Create Element: Basic Information page, and complete the fields, as shown here:

   Reporting Name	Enter the name that you want to display on reports for this element.

   Should every person eligible for the element automatically receive it?	No
   What is the earliest entry date for this element?	First Standard Earning Date
   What is the latest entry date for this element?	Last Standard Earning Date
   At which employment level should this element be attached?	Assignment Level
   Does this element recur each payroll period, or does it require explicit entry?	Nonrecurring
   Can a person have more than one entry of this element in a payroll period?	Yes

3. Verify and submit the details.

Create an Eligibility Record for the Base Element

Element eligibility for the element need to be created as per the required criteria. Information elements don't have a results element and therefore you need to create the eligibility record for the base element.

To create an eligibility record:

1. In the Element Overview section, select the Element Eligibility folder.
2. Select Actions-Create Element Eligibility.
3. In the Element Eligibility Name field, enter a name for the eligibility record.
4. In the Eligibility Criteria section, select a criterion that identifies the eligibility for this element.
5. Submit the details.

What to do next

Create the following input values for the above element:

• Pay Value having UOM Money
• Process Date having UOM Date

This element should have lower processing priority than the absence element for Maternity. Add this element to the Seeded Balance Maternity Benefit Offset.
