Reviewing Earnings and Deductions Structures

You can review at any time the earnings types, non-payroll payments, and deductions you initiate in Oracle Payroll, as well as the earnings and deductions included with the system.

Note: US and Canada: When reviewing earnings or deductions, you may find two with the same name, the second however including the words "Special Inputs" (such as, Regular Salary and Regular Salary Special Inputs). The special inputs element exists to provide a convenient way to enter a change to an earnings or deduction before a payroll run. There is no special inputs element for net-to-gross earnings types.

Mexican implementations do not support special inputs.
