Create Balance Percentage Allowance Element

To create a balance percentage allowance element:

Fastpath: My Client Groups > Payroll

1. Using the Elements task, click Create to create a new element.
2. In the Create Element window, create a Regular Earnings or Irregular Earnings element with Premium as the Secondary Classification. This can be either a recurring or non-recurring element to reflect your allowance requirements.
3. Select one of the following calculation rule types:
   • Percentage of Earnings: To create a balance to which the allowance percentage can be applied.
   • Flat Amount: To apply a percentage to another balance.
4. Leave the What is the DSN code for this element? question blank. The seniority allowance will be reported the same as other regular or irregular earnings in DSN section 51 or 52 respectively.
5. If you’ve created an element using the Flat Amount calculation rule type, you’ll need to create a percentage input value using these details:
