You sometimes pay certain earnings or non-payroll payments by physically separate payments that employees receive in addition to their regular paychecks or direct deposit payments. For example, you might pay a special bonus or award, or a reimbursement for moving expenses, using a separate payment.
For control of separate payments, the elements generated for all earnings in the Earnings and Supplemental Earnings classifications, and for all payments in the classification Non-payroll Payments, include the Separate Check input value.
This input value has a default entry of No, matching the default entry of Never in the Separate Check region of the Earnings window.
You can change this input value entry back and forth between No and Yes for an earnings type or payment, using the Element Link window. For an individual employee, you can make an entry of No or Yes for this input value using the Element Entries window, to stop or enable a payment by separate payment.
| Input Value Name | Purpose of Entry |
|---|---|
| Separate Check | Yes signals that this earnings should be paid by separate payment. Default is No. |
| Tax Separately | Yes indicates that you would like Oracle Payroll to process this earning separately from the others (such as for taxation purposes). The default is No. |
