2If needed, use the Criteria section to obtain a more precise employee list.

Select the Field to modify from the drop-down list.

If you select “Earnings/Deductions (Qty/%/Amt/Rt)”, you must select an earning or deduction code from the Earnings and deductions drop-down list as well as its Status.

Identify the Operator, and then enter a Value.

3Specify the Employees sort order under Sort.

4Under Earnings and deductions to be added or modified, select the earning or deduction in Selection.

The earnings related to a bank or a holiday are excluded from the mass update.

5Select an Operator for the Qty/%/Amt/Rt criteria, then enter a Value.

If you select the “Massive entry” operator, you will need to manually enter a value for each employee in the next screen.

6Fill in the fields as needed. Select an operator immediately or leave “massive entry” as it is to manually enter the values in the next screen.

Things to remember

Field specifics:

Status: this field allows you to determine a modification status. If you select “skip” or “tempo”, the Start status and End status fields will allow you to specify the desired period.

Quantity: this field is available only if you selected an earning code which has a variable rate (e.g. training, premium, overtime, etc.).

Minimum and Maximum: this field is available only if the earning or deduction configured according to a minimum and a maximum (e.g. union, retirement fund).

Cumulated: this field allows you to update the year-to-date amounts of an earning or a deduction (e.g. an RRSP for a business acquisition).

% Distribution: this field is available only to cost distribution users.

Check or uncheck the header box to select all employees. This may be useful when there are several pages and an entire page must be removed.

These columns allow you to check a box in order to distribute the cost percentage (only if the employee has cost distribution in their file) or to click on the Info icon to see the cost distribution associated to the earning or deduction.

If there is an error, the mesg erreur rouge icon appears on the left of the employee’s line. Slide the mouse over the icon to view the error message. If you still wish to save the page, uncheck the box that corresponds to the employee.
