To enter processing rules:Use the Earnings window.
To enter processing rules:On the Standard tab, select the appropriate calculation rule. The formula names appearing in the list of values depend on the processing type of the earnings or payment. The basic calculation rules listed are:
Flat Amount, if you enter the earnings or payment amount and no calculation is necessary
Hours * Rate * Factor, if Oracle Payroll calculates the amount by multiplying hours worked by a wage rate and a multiplier.
Hours * Rate * Multiple, if the amount is calculated by multiplying hours worked by a wage rate and a multiplier
Percentage of Earnings, if Oracle Payroll calculates the amount is by multiplying the salary or the wages by a percentage
Premium, if Oracle Payroll calculates the amount is by applying a factor of .5 to calculate the pay value amount.
Select Recurring or Nonrecurring as the processing type.
Select Recurring if entries to the input values of this earnings type or payment, once entered for an employee, should process each period until you change them or they reach their end date. Select Nonrecurring if this earnings type or payment should process only when it receives new entries in a period.
Warning: Do not select frequency rules for earnings. Frequency rules should only be selected for voluntary deductions.
Select a termination rule to control the processing of entries to the element after employee termination:
If the termination rule is Actual Termination and the element's processing type is recurring, entries to the element close down on the employee's actual termination date. If the element's processing type is nonrecurring, entries close down on the last date of the pay period in which the employee leaves, or on the date the assignment ends (the final process date) if this is earlier.
If the termination rule is Final Close, entries to the element stay open beyond the actual termination date. This makes it possible to pay bonuses, severance pay, and so on, and to make year end adjustments after the employee's actual termination date.
Note: Recurring elements with the Final Close rule only process in runs after the Last Standard Process Date if there is also a nonrecurring entry to process in that run.
If the termination rule is Last Standard Process, entries to the element are not processed after the Last Standard Process date. The Last Standard Process date defaults to the last day of the pay period in which the employee is terminated, but you can set it to a later period when you terminate an employee. This is the appropriate rule for many recurring earnings types.
