Conditional Variables Setting

The Conditional Variables settings provides the ability to configure conditional attributes that may apply to payees and can affect a payee’s leave accruals, entitlements and payments.

For example, a payee may be eligible to accrue additional leave of a given type once they reach a certain age. In this case, a payee conditional variable can be configured to capture payees’ age on their payee records. A payee will then accrue that leave type at different rate depending on the value specified in the age conditional variable on their payee record.

Each conditional variable that is configured for a country defines one or more values that can apply to payees who belong to that country. The payee conditional variables that are configured for the country to which a payee belongs appear in the Payee Conditional Variable section on the Payee Entry screen within the Pay Module. On the Payee Conditional Variable section, payroll staff can select the specific value that applies to the payee for any of the payee conditional variables that are available.

Payee conditional variables can be used as to define conditions for the following types of rules for leave types, which are configured in Leave > Leave Maintenance > Leave Type.

• leave accrual rules

• leave transfer rules

• leave reset rules

• leave deduction rules.
