The ‘Advanced Multiple Assignments’ feature is not used by clients who simply have employees working with multiple work assignments due to secondary or acting responsibilities, authorization requirements or similar. There is special group source rule logic associated with a null or Not Specified group source rule that ensures existing clients continue to function as previously indicated. Refer to Work Rule Definition and Prime Assignment for details of this default processing.

The ‘Advanced Multiple Assignments’ feature is only implemented in client environments where there are employees working in multiple assignments across multiple units and groups in different payrolls and tax jurisdictions.
Implementing this ‘Advanced Multiple Assignments’ concept in P2K necessitated enhancing the method by which the proper ‘PC Rule’ record is located during Pay Line Generation. The PC Rule is needed for obtaining the correct Pay Component definition.

Firstly, it is used whenever a Pay Header is created, to determine the ‘Demographic’ information that will be stamped on the Pay Header. The Payroll, Unit, Group, Tax Jurisdictions (Home and Work), State/Province (Home and Work), and School District are determined by evaluating the ‘Group Source’ rule. These fields are also used to determine the appropriate payroll history records that will be updated with payroll totals information during the UPCLOZ process. The ‘To Date’ records viewable through the IPVT screen are the records that are used to create state and local W2s.

There are 3 new group source rules.
If the work rule group source field is not populated by the client (i.e. it is Null), or the rule selected is ‘Not Specified’, then Personality will use the Match Assign/Posn rule when locating a PC Rule record. When locating a pay header, Personality will default to 'Prime Assignment'. These choices provide the same behavior as in previous versions.

This method supports clients that need to bring time transactions in from the Time Entry module, in environments where the Job Code is frequently overridden, causing the unit and group codes (and by inference, the payroll code and tax jurisdictions) to change on a transaction by transaction basis.

When creating pay headers and pay lines, the job code from the pay transaction is used to locate a matching assignment, and the group code from that assignment is then used in the header and pc rules logic. If a matching assignment is not found, then group code is instead taken from the first assignment where the unit code matches the unit code associated with the job code on the pay transaction.

This rule is suitable for all existing clients that do not require the ‘Advanced Multiple Assignments’ functionality, and for all clients whose position or job changes at the pay transaction level are within a single unit and those who operate in a single state and tax jurisdiction.
