Job\Position based fixed payroll structure

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 135

Dear All,

I explored the US payroll and HR module for job-based payroll structure, explored fixed and variable compensation, premium earnings, and standard payroll as well but I am not able to find the concrete solution, idea behind is below.
Let’s take an example of a job as an HR director having 3 levels senior, junior, and additional. All the earning code amounts are fixed per job level as below. All these earning codes have separate GL account for accounting purposes.

Job\Position

Earning Code 1 Fixed Amount

Earning Code 2 Fixed Amount

Earning Code 3 Fixed Amount

Earning Code 4 Fixed Amount

Senior HR Director

1000

900

800

800

Junior HR Director

700

600

400

400

Additional HR Director

800

700

500

500

How can we set up earning codes as per job\position bases so that whenever employees’ job\position changes from one job\position to another job\position, his\her earning codes are auto calculate as per new job’s\position’s earning codes.
e.g.


Currently employee is on junior HR director carrying earning codes (700+600+400+400), when his\her position change to newer position Senior HR Director, then system auto calculate the earnings (1000+900+800+800) without human interference, how I can achieve the above concept.

Any help and thoughts on this.

    Ok, right it means no built in solution available for such type of scenario, so customisation must for this.

    You are right. Answering both your question, system only allows one earning code during processing. However, you can customize the payroll process to fetch multiple earning codes and distribute amount accordingly.

    In fixed compensation there are couple of issues I gause.

    1 -  how we can calculate separate earning codes values bs system only allow one earning code attachment in position.

    2 - If we use step level fixed compensation, then system ask only one lump sum step amount for calculation, how system distribute amount against different earning codes.

    Hi

    Fixed compensation should be created against the active primary position of the employee to achieve this example. Earning rate on earning statement line are picked from employee's the fixed compensation. So whenever employee switches to new position, create a fixed compensation for the new position and system will automatically fix it for amount calculation
