Health and Safety Entitlement and Payment

Payroll attributes provided for the calculation of health and safety entitlement and payments (both statutory and benefit).

Payroll attributes are now provided for the user to set up health and safety absences for the calculation of statutory and benefit payments/offsets.

Steps to enable and configure

Create health and safety elements, formula result rules for entitlement results, balance feeds, validation formulas based on delivered formulas, entitlement formula, certificates, absence plan and absence type.

Steps to Enable:
1.    Create an absence element using these details:

  • Primary Classification: Absences
  • Secondary Classification: Health and Safety

2.    Create benefit offset element using these details:

  • Primary Classification: Information
  • Input Values: Pay Value, Process Date

3.    Create statutory and benefit payment elements using:

  • Primary Classification: Direct Payment

4.    Create formula result rules for the <Absence Element> Entitlement Result.

  • HEALTH_SAFETY_BENEFIT_PAYMENT
  • PROCESS_DATE

5.     Modify the formula <Absence Element> Entitlement Result to incorporate logic for statutory payment and benefit payment.

6.    Create calculation factor for the element <Absence Element> Entitlement Result for the value definition Health and Safety Weekly Personal Rate.

7.    Create a balance feed benefit offset element for the balance Health and Safety Benefit Offset.

8.    Create a balance feed benefit payment element for the balance Health and Safety Benefit Payment.

9.    Create a balance feed for statutory payment element for the balance Health and Safety Pay.

10.    Create a validation formula based on a delivered seeded formula: IE Health and Safety Absence Validation and configure warnings for these scenarios:

  • Leave Duration Maximum Weeks
  • Maximum Pay Days

11.    Create an entitlement formula based on a documented sample formula for entitlement.

Note: This sets the entitlement limits and generates a certificate whenever maximum paid leave is taken.

12.    The following fields will be available:

  • Daily Normal Pay Override
  • Benefit Eligibility Start Date
  • Benefit Eligibility End Date
  • Benefit Start Date Override
  • Benefit End Date Override

13.    Create an Absence Plan and attach it with the entitlement formula.
14.    Create an Absence Type and attach it with the validation formula and certificate.
