Configurable Pay

Field Name

Field Description

Configurable Pay ID

 A unique identifier for the rule being created.

Configurable Pay

Description A description for the rule.

Home Department, Home Unit, Pay Policy, Union Local

These fields are used to define organizational values that should be considered when selecting eligible employees for automatic step increase processing. Employees that have a Home Department, Home Unit, Pay Policy, or Union Local that matches the value entered in the associated pick list will be selected for processing. These pick lists support wildcard (“*****”) entries to indicate that the organizational value should not be included in the selection criteria.

When a value is entered in the Home Unit pick list, a non-wildcard value is required in the Home Department pick list.

Generated Pay Event

The pay event to be used in the generated pending payment if an employee meets the rule conditions. The event entered must have Event Type ID= Pay Type on Pay and Leave Event (EVNT).

Evaluation Period

The time period over which a rule will be evaluated for an employee. If multiple instances of the selected evaluation period fall within the current pay period, then the rule will be evaluated for each complete instance of the evaluation period (example., daily will evaluate each day in the pay period).

Supplemental Pay Cycle

Identifies if payments generated by the rule should be flagged for a supplemental run.

Hold Pending Payment

 Identifies if payments generated by the rule should be placed in a hold status.

State Tax Withholding Option

This field has two values: Primary State (P) and Withhold based on entered time (E). The State Tax Withholding Option can only be set to E if the Evaluation Period is Daily or Daily Specified. The default value is set to Primary State (P).

When the MULTI_STATE_TAX Application Parameter is enabled, this field determines if the generated payment should be assigned to the employee’s primary state code or assigned to the state code associated with the pending payments in the Evaluation Period.

Multi-Day Setup

Works in conjunction with the selected Evaluation Period to specify the specific days of the week that should be evaluated. At least one entry is required when Evaluation Period = Daily Specified or Multi-Day.

Pay Rule Formula

This formula definition determines if the employee meets the pay rule. This formula must return a true/false result. The formula must be built using the standard JEXL script and can utilize the methods defined on Configurable Pay Method  and the lists defined on User List for this process.

Pay Output Formula

This formula definition identifies the amount (hours, dollars, etc.) of the Generated Pay Event that need to be generated. This formula will only be considered if the Pay Rule Formula returns a ‘true’ for the employee. The formula must be built using the standard JEXL script and can utilize the methods defined on Configurable Pay Method and the lists defined on User List for this process.

Method Grid

This grid displays the details of all methods defined on Configurable Pay Method that can be utilized in the Pay Rule and Pay Output Formulas.
