Set Up Earnings Elements

You need to create absence elements for each absence plan that transfers absence payment information to payroll for processing.

To create a new absence element:

Navigation: My Client Groups > Payroll > Elements

1. Set up Earnings Elements with the values as shown here:

   Field	Value
   Calculation rules	Flat Amount
   Default Periodicity	Periodically
   Periodicity Conversion Rule	Standard Rate Annualized
   How do you want the work units reported?	None

2. If there are some elements which are a part of the above Rate Definition but are nonrecurring functionally, for example a Bonus, use these setup as shown here:

   Acting Allowance	Flat Amount	Recurring	N/A
   Performance related pay	Flat Amount	Recurring	N/A

3. Save the details.
   Attention:

   • Don't select the Allow multiple entries in same period checkbox when creating elements. The HCM Rates functionality doesn't support the creation of rated associated with elements with multiple entries allowed.
   • Even if one of the above element types is a nonrecurring payment, you need to configure it as a recurring element and limit its usage to a one-time payment with the start and end dates on the element entry.
