The employment and compensation data include, for example: the employee status, the employment insurance rate, the employment date, the position, the hourly rate, the number of hours per pay, the personal income tax credits and tax reductions.

Important

If the organizational structure elements are defined from the position and you modify the position, the new position’s structure is updated in Employment and compensation as soon as you confirm the modification. It is possible, however, to modify them afterwards. This is also the case for the position’s other common fields that are in Employment and compensation.

An organizational structure or employee salary modification can impact, depending on the Position change date or the Salary change date, the processing of transactions in the payroll functions. It can also impact the different time sheet processing stages for clients using the Time management solution and the mobile application.

For Time management solution and mobile application users only:

oTime sheet processing stages: A future organizational structure or position modification with an effective date included in the current pay period and that is different than the period start date will generate two transactions (not applicable if the position comes from the punch).
 
The first transaction consists of prior to modification data and the second transaction of after modification data (applicable to the hour entry using the Time sheet validation function, Self-service and the mobile application).
 
You will receive a confirmation message of the modification made, its effective date and actions to be taken, as required.

oGeneration of payroll entry: This step completes the separation of transactions.
 
Hourly rate: The separation occurs if your business is configured to Allow rate input when updating adjusted hours.
 
Administrative structure: The separation occurs if the structure does not appear on your entry screen and if your cost distribution is done according to structure.
 
Parity committee class: The separation occurs if you have a parity committee report.
