Application Parameters

Although officially listed as an Infrastructure table, the Application Parameters (APPCTRL) table is one that is part of general system configuration. Options on this table are set once and do not vary by year, fund, department, transaction, or other factors. The table is very generic in its design so that it can host many different types of options with the Parameter Name and Parameter Value fields.  Of the controls on this table, those listed below directly relate to the Time and Leave business area. Note: Any changes to records on this table should be followed by a bounce of all servers used for CGI Advantage HRM.

Parameter

Description

MULTI_STATE_TAX

This parameter determines whether or not enhanced multi-state tax processing is in use.

By default, this parameter is set to N.

When this parameter is set to Y, the following functionality is available:

Users utilizes the Federal Tax Enrollment (TAXF), State Tax Enrollment (TAXS) and Employee State Tax Withholding Certificate (ETAXS)  transaction to adjust employee federal and state taxes.

The Employee Tax Parameter tab on DEDM will only utilize the federal tax information. State tax information is not displayed. This tab provides the option to create or modify Federal Tax Enrollment (TAXF).

The Employee State Tax Parameter tab is displayed to allow users to make adjustments to employee state tax deductions. This tab provides the option to create or modify State Tax Enrollment (TAXS).

The Employee State Tax Withholding Certificate (ETAXS) transaction is available for employee user roles to create on the Manage Tax Information tab of Pay Landing (MEIPAY).

The Time-to-Gross (TTG) process populates the State ID and Local ID on the pending payments, if a Schedule Location is available on the Timesheet (TIMEI), Timesheet Adjustment (TADJ), Overload Payment Generator (OPAY) or One-Time Payment (OTPAY) transactions, or a valid State Tax Enrollment is available for the employee.

The Gross-to-Net (GTN) process retrieves ST_CD that is processed using the following hierarchy:

  • Retrieve from EMPL_TAX_PARM_ST, if record exists for an employee.  If an employee has multiple state taxes, each state tax deduction should be calculated based on the subject gross amount.

  • Retrieve from ADDRESS, if record exists for an employee and employee does not have a record in EMPL_TAX_PARM_ST.

  • Retrieve from Multi-State Tax OPROC, if employee does not have a record in either EMPL_TAX_PARM_ST or ADDRESS.
