Example: Add Payroll Input for Multiple Workers

Example: Add Payroll Input for Multiple Workers

This example illustrates how to add different payroll input amounts for multiple workers.
You want to pay Marianne, Thomas, and Julia quarterly bonus for February to April results. You want to pay the bonus through a separate check using a specific Bonus run category. Since your employees receive varying bonus amounts for each quarter, you want to set up the bonus as a one-time payroll input. For this quarter:
  • Marianne receives 75% of a 5000 target.
  • Thomas receives a flat bonus amount of 1500.
  • Julia receives a flat bonus amount of 2000.
Create an earning named
Quarterly Bonus
 that is eligible for payroll input, with
Target
 and
Percentage
 related calculations.
Security:
  • Set Up: Payroll (Calculations - Payroll Specific)
     domain in the Core Payroll functional area.
  • Set Up: Payroll - Pay Group Specific
     domain in the Core Payroll functional area.
  • Worker Data: Payroll (Payroll Input)
     domain in the Core Payroll functional area.

    Add Payroll Input by Worker
     task.
