Tips
Logic Calculation
Used to build boolean calculations with and/or logic.
Returns true for AND statements, if all conditions are true.
Returns true for OR statements, if one or more conditions are true.
  • Management level is Individual contributor OR FTE < 100%.
  • A worker was terminated as of the period start date AND payroll input exists for the worker.
  • Test score is greater than 35 AND student is nonresident.
  • Conditional calculations frequently use logic calculations as criteria.
  • You can't directly combine AND and OR conditions directly in the same logic calculation. You can, however, nest calculations by selecting a logic calculation as an operand of another logic calculation.
  • You can't use a conditional calculation as one of the calculations inside a logic calculation.
Instance Set Comparison Calculation
Compares a report field or a custom field and a value or set of values using a relational operator such as:
  • Exact match with the selection list
  • In the selection list
  • Is empty
  • Is not empty
  • Not in the selection list
  • Worker isn't an hourly worker.
  • Active withholding orders include child support.
  • An academic period is Spring 2017.
  • Use the
    in the selection list
     relational operator instead of
    exact match with the selection list
    . The
    exact match with the selection list
     relational operator can yield inaccurate results.
  • Instance set comparison calculations are mainly used as a condition within a conditional calculation or a logic calculation.
  • You can also use instance set comparison calculations as eligibility on pay and absence components.
Instance Value Calculation (Boolean)
A calculation that returns a boolean from a field. In addition to a boolean, it can also return currency, and date attributes.
  • Workday-delivered IVCs return values based on report fields.
  • Customer-owned IVCs return values based on custom fields.
  • Payroll Input (Onetime) Exists for Pay Component (Sub Period).
  • Active state tax levy orders exist for a worker.
  • The academic period is standard.
You can use the
All Instance Value Calculations
 report to access a list of available IVCs and view details about each calculation, such as:
  • The report field or custom field that the IVC is based on and its business object.
  • Any comments that describe the type of data that the IVC returns.
  • Related instances of the IVC.
Value Comparison Calculation
Compares 2 operands using a relational operator, such as:
  • Equal to
  • Greater than
  • Greater than or equal to
  • Less than
  • Less than or equal to
  • Not equal to
  • The month of a worker's hire date is later than July.
  • A worker has wages eligible for pension deductions.
  • A student's GPA is greater than or equal to 3.0.
  • Value comparison calculations compare only numeric data, including dates, and are mainly used as a condition in conditional calculations or logic calculations.
  • You can also use value comparison calculations in a standalone capacity as eligibility calculations.
