For some earnings types, the payroll run calculates the gross amount based on a fixed net amount to be paid to the employee. For example, you might want to ensure a certain take-home bonus amount, and be willing to pay some or all of the taxes and other deductions that apply to the bonus.

To create a net to gross earnings type, use the Earnings window.

   To create a net to gross earnings type:

1. Set your effective date early enough to handle any historical entries you may want to make.

2. Identify the earnings.

   The earnings classification must be Supplemental Earnings.

3. Check the Grossup check box.

4. Select the calculation rule GROSSUP_FLAT_AMOUNT_NONRECUR (US) or Flat Amount for Net to Gross (Canada). This generates a formula called <earnings name>_GROSSUP_FLAT_AMOUNT, which you can configure if necessary.

5. Select Yes in the Separate Check region (US) or Separate Payment region (Canada) if you want the earning to be paid separately.

6. Choose the Grossup Processing tab.

7. Review the list of balances that are eligible for grossup and clear the Include check box for any balances that you want to exclude from the grossup processing.

   Note: You can exclude additional balances for individual element entries using the Gross Up Balances window (which opens from the Element Entries window).

8. Canada only: Indicate if this element is recurring.

9. Save your work.

10. Review the components generated for the earnings.

    See: Reviewing Earnings and Deductions Structures

    If necessary, make changes to the generated components. You cannot change these components using the Earnings window.

    See: Customizing Generated Elements, Formulas, and Balances

    Attention: If you make mistakes when initiating an earnings or payment so that the components generated for it need correction, delete all the generated components and re-initiate the earnings.
