Category Cap

The Category Cap (CCAP) page allows you to define and maintain annual cap amounts. You can establish a maximum allowable deduction amount for deduction processing or maximum allowable payout amount for leave processing. The Category Type indicates if the category cap is a Deduction (DED) or Leave (LEAV) category cap.

The Use Pay Period End check box is used to determine when the calendar year from the Pay Period End Date or Check Date should be used for calculating Category Cap subject gross amount links. Gross-to-Net (GTN) processes existing pending deductions and calculates permanent deductions. The Use Pay Period End check box on CCAP affects which calendar year is used for calculating limits on the Subject Gross Cap. The calendar year from either the Check Date or the Pay Period End date is allowed to calculate limits for the Subject Gross Cap, based on the CCAP setup.

When running Regular cycle, Preliminary cycle, Advance Processing, or Replacement GTN, within the CCAP Subject Gross Cap logic:

• If the Use Pay Period End check box on CCAP is selected, the calendar year expressed on the Pay Period End Date, by looking at the related CYCL table from the employee’s payroll number, being processed by GTN for the employee is used to determine the deduction subject gross amount limit

When running Supplemental cycle GTN for Multiple Payments, By Pay Type, or Retroactive type IDs, since there are not specific pay period dates associated with these supplemental checks:

• If the Use Pay Period End check box on CCAP is selected, the Subject Gross is calculated for each calendar year individually (using the specific pay details from that calendar year).
