Concept: Position-Based Earnings and Deductions
To make the
Position
worktag type available on earnings and deductions, access the
Edit Tenant Setup – HCM
task. From the
Position Setup Options
prompt, select Multiple
Jobs
.Use this setting for both multiple jobs and international assignments.
You can pay a worker from a non-Workday payroll system for only 1 international
assignment at a time.
- When you set up an earning or deduction, selectPositionfor theCalculation Worktag. Workday calculates the earning or deduction separately for each position processed.Examples of position-based earnings and deductions include base pay and union dues. Use only position-based earnings and deductions for international assignments.
- SelectPositionfor theCalculation Worktagon all pay components that are referred to by other position-based pay components.This configuration ensures that all calculations use values for the correct position. Example: A position-basedOvertime Earningspay component refers to aSick Paypay component. Adding the position worktag to Sick Pay ensures that Workday uses the correct rate of pay when calculating sick pay.
- If you don't select thePositionworktag, Workday considers the earning or deduction worker-based. Workday resolves worker-based earnings once for each gross-to-net amount, for each pay group, unless you add worker eligibility criteria.For worker-based earnings or deductions, the worker's payroll processing position determines eligibility, unless you define rules to look across jobs. If a deduction is based on gross pay (Example: 10% of gross pay), Workday sums the earnings from all positions in the same company for the gross pay.For worker-based earnings or deductions, the worker's primary position determines eligibility, unless you define rules to look across jobs. If a deduction is based on gross pay (Example: 10% of gross pay), Workday sums the earnings from all positions in the same company for the gross pay.
Once a payroll result or payroll input exists for the earning or deduction, you can't add or
remove the
Position
worktag.
