Concept: Pay Component Configurations for Subperiods
You typically define pay component calculations to return an amount for an entire pay
period. When you have subperiods in a pay period, there are a few methods to prevent the
pay component from resolving with its full amount for each subperiod.
Option | Description |
|---|---|
Define a proration method for pay components. | The pay component resolves at each subperiod, but returns an amount
that is prorated for the subperiod. |
Use eligibility criteria to process a pay component once per
period. | For gross-to-net proration only. When creating a pay component,
select 1 of these options from the Worker
Eligibility prompt:
The pay component then resolves for a subperiod with the
amount defined for the entire period, but only when the pay component
hasn’t already resolved.
These eligibility criteria don't apply to proration caused by pay
group changes. To avoid duplicate results, make pay group changes
before you open the pay period. |
Deduct days not worked during the period.
| In the case of midperiod hires or terminations, you can calculate a
worker's pay for the entire pay period based on the worker schedule. You can
then create a deduction to subtract the equivalent pay for unworked
hours.

Calculations and Subperiods
When setting up calculations, you can use report fields that return either:
- A value for the subperiod.
- A value for the period.
All calculations resolve for each subperiod. This could potentially result in
different values for logic or instance value comparison calculations in each
subperiod.
Example: A worker has a midperiod company change and also changes from Collective
Agreement A to Collective Agreement B. If you select:
- The report fieldCollective Agreement as of Sub Period End Date, Workday returns different collective agreements values for each subperiod.
- The report fieldCollective Agreement as of Period End Date, Workday returns the same collective agreement for each subperiod.
