Name Name that identifies this pay oncost. The name must be unique within the country to which this pay oncost belongs. Active Active status of this pay oncost. When ticked, this indicates that the pay oncost is active and can therefore be applied to pay codes. When unticked, indicates that this pay oncost is inactive and therefore cannot be applied to any pay codes. Note that if the pay oncost is made inactive after it has already been applied to one or more pay codes, the oncost will still apply if those pay codes are used in the pay interpretation process. However, it will not be possible to apply the oncost to any other pay codes. Country Country to which this oncost belongs. The oncost will apply to only those pay agreements that belong to the same country as selected in this field. This field defaults to the country to which you are assigned. To assign the oncost to another country, select the relevant country in this field. Last (Timesheet/Pay) End Date Displays the end date of the last timesheet or open/closed pay batch that was processed using an agreement that references this oncost. The date shown in this field determines if and how this oncost can be edited in the event that the oncost has already been applied when interpreting a pay agreement or processing a payee's pay. This field is blank if the oncost is yet to be applied as a result of processing a timesheet or gross wage batch. Include in Finance Integration Export If ticked, pay oncosts linked to this oncost header that are calculated in a pay batch will be exported when pay transactions are exported in a Finance Integration batch. Linked Oncost Headers Displays the name of any other oncost headers that are linked to this oncost header. For example, if workers' compensation insurance is an oncost that is calculated based on earnings inclusive of superannuation, where superannuation is an oncost itself, the workers' compensation insurance oncost can be linked to the superannuation oncost. Therefore, if this oncost header represents the superannuation oncost, this field may show the workers’ compensation oncost as an oncost that is linked to this oncost header.
Linked Paycodes Displays the names of any pay codes that are linked to this oncost, as well as the start and end dates of the period during which the link is valid. Pay codes are linked to a pay oncost, and the corresponding validity periods of these links are defined, via the Pay Code Entry screen, which is used to create and maintain pay codes. |
