1Introduction to Payroll Elements

Use this playbook to understand the tasks required to set up elements for Payroll.

The Payroll application provides many predefined elements. You can generate additional elements, define types of compensation, and payroll elements through templates.

Element templates create elements, input values, balances, balance feed, and formulas required for payroll processing. There are various rules associated with these templates which are used to create data based on specific criteria. These templates source the values for the rules and processes the predefined structure to create appropriate data required.

Each element belongs to a primary classification, which identifies the template you use to create it, such as Earnings and Voluntary Deductions.

Earnings and Deductions Definitions

Use the Define Earning and Deduction Definitions task list in your implementation project to set up elements and payroll components.

Your implementation might include a few predefined elements, usually for statutory tax deductions. The objects vary depending on the element classification and category.

• Elements
• Element Classifications
• Component Groups
• Eligibility Rules for Predefined Elements
• Rate Definitions
