Site Specific Parameter (SPAR)

Parameter

Description

CAFE CONTRI ADD TO RETIRE BASE  

The fringe pay event for the Pensionable Cafeteria amount that needs to be evaluated when an employee terminates and then included in the calculation of Scheduled RCEA routine should be entered in the Text Value field of this SPAR entry.  Additional values can be defined as a comma separated value (i.e. EVNT1, EVNT2).

EARLIEST RETRO DED DATE

Enter the earliest date for which retroactive deductions can be processed in the Text Value field. Enter date in CCYYMMDD format. The date must be a valid date on the Calendar Date (CLDT) page.

FEDERAL TAX DEDUCTION

Enter the Federal Tax deduction type code from the Deduction Type (DEDT) page in the Text Value field to store information for Federal Tax deduction.

FILTERING BY DPTD

If the Yes/No Flag is selected (Y) of this parameter, the Deduction Policy Type by Department and Unit (DPTD) reference page restricts the Deduction Policy, Deduction Types and Deduction Plans to one or more Departments and Units. Once a Deduction is identified on the DPTD, a user must be in the Department or Unit specified by the DPTD in order to assign the deduction to an employee using any of the following transactions: Beneficiary Designation (BDES), COBRA Benefits, (CBN), COBRA Financial Maintenance (CFMT), COBRA Status Maintenance (CSMT), External Adjustments (EADJ), Benefits Enrollment (ENRL), Family Court/Family Court Arrears/Bankruptcy (FAMC), Garnishment (GARN), Tax Levy (LEVY), Miscellaneous (MISC), One Time Deductions Transaction  (OTDED), Pension Profile (PENS), Reimbursement Account Claim (REIM), Savings Bond (SAVB), and Employee Tax Parameters (TAX).

If the Yes/No Flag of this parameter is cleared (N), then the system does not look at the DPTD record to filter deductions and no entry is required on the DPTD reference page. The filter logic is based on the HRM user’s Department and Unit found on their User Information (SCUSER) entry and Foreign Organization privileges, found in the Advantage HRM Administration application.

If the Numeric Value field is set to 1, then DPTD filtering will not apply to admin users, thus allowing admin users to view all entries.

MYW4C TAX YEAR

If the Yes/No Flag is selected, the system pulls the value stored on the Text Value field of this SPAR to populate the Tax Year field on the TAX transaction.  If the Yes / No Flag field is cleared, the system uses the year from the current Pay Period Check Date on the Payroll Cycle (CYCL) table.

NEGATIVE FICA/MEDI DED ALLOWED

This parameter is used to allow negative deduction for FICA and MEDICARE deductions in the deduction details section while calculating the On-line Check (OCHK). If this SPAR is set to True it will allow negative deduction to be displayed for FICA and MEDICARE deductions in the deduction details section while calculating the OCHK. If this SPAR is set to False the system will display ZERO deduction amount  for FICA and MEDICARE deductions in the deduction details section while calculating the OCHK.

PERS HOUR CAP USER FIELD

Enter Zero in the Numeric Value field of this SPAR parameter to indicate that the PERS routine should not be used, or enter 1 thru 10 to indicate the number of the user defined field on the Pay and Leave Events (EVNT) page that will specify to which group each event belongs during the PERS processing.

PRETAX CHILD SUPPORT CALC

If the Yes/No Flag is selected, the system will display the Multi Child Support Processing Order field on the Deduction Plan (DPLN) page in the Special Processing section. If the Yes/No flag is cleared, the system will not display the Multi Child Support Processing Order field on DPLN.

RCEA TERMINATION STATUS

If the employee’s Employment Status matches the status entered on the Text Value field of this SPAR entry, then the employee is going out-of-service and the calculation of termination pay will be invoked. Multiple Employment Statuses can be defined on the Text Value field, separated by comma (i.e. T,P).

W4 ADDITIONAL TAX DEDUCTION

The Text Value of this parameter determines which deduction type and deduction plan should be associated with additional federal withholding amounts at site level. In the Text Value field, enter a valid Deduction Type and Deduction Plan separated by a space. If an invalid Deduction Type/Deduction Plan is entered, the MYW4C transaction is rejected. This SPAR parameter is Required.
