| Parameter Name | Data Item | Data Type | Req/Opt | I/O/Both |
|---|
| szCompanyhome | HMCO | char | NONE | NONE |
The company number where the employee records generally reside. |
| mnStdHrsPerYear | IH | MATH_NUMERIC | NONE | NONE |
The number of work hours in the year. When you do not set your payroll company constants to use the Pay Grade Step table as the
pay-rate source, the system uses this number to compute the hourly rate when you supply the annual salary (or to compute the annual salary when
you supply the hourly rate).
When you set your constants to use the Pay Grade Step table as the pay rate source, the system uses the
following sequence to search for the standard number of hours that it uses to calculate the salary or hourly rate per pay period:
o Employee entry
forms (this field)
o Pay Grade Step table (hours per day multiplied by days per year)
o Payroll company constants for the employee's
company
o Payroll company constants for the default company (company 00000)
o Data dictionary
o System default value of 2080
standard hours per year |
| cPayRateSource | PRSR | char | NONE | NONE |
This constant specifies the default source for employee pay rates. When you add or change employee information, the system uses this
constant to locate a pay rate for an employee when you leave the salary and hourly rate fields blank.
Pay Rate Source
1 Pay Rate Tables
2 Pay Grade Step Table
3 None You choose a pay rate source in Setting Up System Options.
To calculate a salary for the employee, the
system multiplies the employee's standard hours per year by the hourly rate from the table. |
| szPayGrade | PGRD | char | NONE | NONE |
A code that designates a category for grouping employees according to pay ranges. For each pay grade, you enter a pay range that
includes a minimum, a midpoint, and a maximum pay rate. The system uses these pay ranges to calculate compa-ratios for the employees that
you assign to pay grades. After you enter a pay grade for an employee, the system displays either an error or a warning message if you enter
a rate for the employee that is not within the pay range for the employee's pay grade.
To set up pay grades, use Pay Grades by Class
(P082001).
If you have set up your system to use rates in the Pay Grade Step table as the default pay rates for employees, changing an
employee's pay grade step causes the system to automatically update the following fields:
o Salary
o Hourly Rate
o Hours per day
o Hours per
year
o Days per year
|
| szPayGradeStep | PGRS | char | NONE | NONE |
A code that identifies a pay grade and pay step. You can use this code to determine an employee's pay rate.
If you have set up your
system to use rates in the Pay Grade Step table as the default pay rates for employees, changing an employee's pay grade step causes the
system to automatically update the following fields:
o Salary
o Hourly Rate
o Hours per day
o Hours per year
o Days per year |
| szUnionCode | UN | char | NONE | NONE |
A user defined code (06/UN) that represents the union or plan in which the employee or group of employees work or participate. |
| cPayTypeHSP | SALY | char | OPT | NONE |
A code that specifies how an employee is paid. Valid codes are:
H
Hourly
S
Salaried
P
Piecework
|
| szSalaryDataLocality | SLOC | char | OPT | NONE |
A user defined code (07/SL) that defines the different salary localities within an organization. For example, you can compare salaries for
employees on the East Coast with employees in the Midwest. |
| jdDateEffectiveOn | EFTO | JDEDATE | OPT | NONE |
A future date when all changes will take effect or the date when the changes went into effect. If you do not enter a date in this field, the system
uses the current date as the effective date. |
| mnHoursStandardPerDay | STDD | MATH_NUMERIC | OPT | NONE |
The number of hours that the employee normally works in one day. If you leave this field blank, the default is the standard number of hours
per day that you defined in the payroll company constants (company options, in OneWorld).
For example, if, in the payroll company constants
(company options), you specified 8 as the standard number of hours per day, but a few employees normally work 7 hours per day, enter 7 in
this field for those employees. |
| mnDaysStandardperYear | SDYY | MATH_NUMERIC | OPT | NONE |
The number of workdays in a year. The number of standard days per year multiplied by the number of hours per day equals the standard
hours per year.
When you set up the human resources constants (System Options, in OneWorld) and you use the pay grade step table as the
default source for the pay rate,the system calculates the salary for an employee by multiplying the standard days per year by the
employee's hourly rate. |
