!!!Define Groups
Groups define policy implementations for a unit and are the components that determine the sets of employment and pay rules that must be applied to an employee when processing their work, pay, benefit, and attendance information.
!!!LOAD SEED DATA
At line 5 changed one line
The group codes will be used to define standard hours per day, per week, per pay, the default wage basis and automatic pay generation rules. The group code will allow the employee's record to inherit the values defined at this level, however, authorized users may override these values. Employees in the system are connected to a unit and group code through their position code on the assignment. This association tells the system what rules and policies govern the employee. Groups are managed together for payroll processing through the payroll code.
!!Processing Information
The RBOE is a report used by the Benefit Administrator, run for a period of time to capture any open enrollment periods within that time frame.
At line 7 changed one line
Group codes must be unique within a unit, in addition, they should be unique within an entity and are associated with a specific payroll.
The user can opt to run with or without details. When details are opted, the report shows all of the employees associated to that open enrollment period and their current elections. When details are not opted, the report shows the employees with their election status, but not what their elections are.
At line 9 removed 19 lines
The reasons for defining a group include variations in the set of rules governing benefit options, vacation and other leave policies, working conditions such as standard hours, pay schedule and frequency, etc.
Examples of groups include: full time, part time, permanent, contract, grandfathered, temporary, co-op, etc.
Group data is stored in the [P2K_CM_GROUPS] and [P2K_CM_GROUP_DETAILS] tables.

!Rate Details
;[Hourly Rounding|HOURLY_ROUNDING]:This field shows the rounding factor to be used when converting a wage or salary amount to an hourly rate. To round to two decimals, use a rounding factor of 0.005. To round to four decimals, use a rounding factor of 0.00005.
;[Daily Rounding|DAILY_ROUNDING]:This field shows the rounding factor to be used when converting a wage or salary amount to a daily rate. To round to two decimals, use a rounding factor of 0.005. To round to four decimals, use a rounding factor of 0.00005.
;[Weeks Per Year|WEEKS_PER_YEAR]:The weeks per year factor will be used to annualize a weekly rate of pay. This factor is necessary whenever the rate basis is defined as weekly, as all other rates will be derived by converting the base rate first to an annual salary/wage.
;[Months Per Year|MONTHS_PER_YEAR]:The months per year factor will be used to annualize a monthly rate of pay. This factor is necessary whenever the rate basis is defined as monthly; converting the base rate first to an annual salary/wage will derive all other rates.
;[Wage Step Rule|WAGE_STEP_RULE_CODE]:The wage step rule determines the way that automatic step increases will be applied. The field of rate step rule is an LOV (List of Values); the list of rate step rules that is created for this field will be given further definition/rules in Salary Administration training.
;[Fulltime Wage|USE_FTE_WAGES]: If the FTE indicated in the Work Arrangement area is less than 1.00, this toggle will indicate if the displayed salary or wage should be converted to a Full Time Equivalent factor ([FTE]). The FTE is defined on several forms such as Maintain Positions ([IDPS]) or Maintain Assignments ([IEAS]). Suppose an employee has an FTE of 0.5 and the wage rate indicated is $4,000. If the toggle is OFF, this means that the employee will actually receive the full $4,000. If the toggle is turned ON, the displayed salary or wage is the 1.00 Full Time Equivalent amount. This means that in this case, where the FTE is 0.5, the employee will receive $2,000.
;[Enable OE Elections|ENABLE_OE_ELECTIONS]:Clients can determine which set of employees are eligible for Open Enrollment by checking ON this toggle. If a group does not have this toggled, they will not be picked up by the [UBOE] process.

!!Work Rules tab
;[Work Rule|WORK_RULE_CODE]:Work rules are used to determine standard payroll processing information required to create pay headers and transactions for an employee. If the work rule is specified and has the following defined on the [IDWR] form:
*Std Hrs/Day,
*Std Hrs/Week, and
*Std Hrs/ Pay \\then these standard hours will be defaulted in the following fields.
;[Std Hrs/Day|STD_HOURS_PER_DAY]:This field shows the standard hours in a normal work day. You may accept the default Std Hrs/Day from the work rule or manually override it.
;[Std Hrs/Week|STD_HOURS_PER_WEEK]: This field shows the standard hours in a normal work week. You may accept the default Std Hrs/Week from the work rule or manually override it.
;[Std Hrs/Pay|STD_HOURS_PER_PAY]: This field shows the standard hours in a regular pay period. You may accept the default Std Hrs/Pay from the work rule or manually override it.
;[Payment Method|PAY_BY_CHECK]: Payment method is used to define the default payment method for this group during the pay cycle. The employee may override the payment method at timesheet level.
;[Payroll|PAYROLL_CODE]:This field shows the payroll in which this group will be processed.
;[FLSA Hours|FLSA_HOURS]:This field shows the base hours after which the [FLSA] calculation will begin.
;[FLSA Factor|FLSA_FACTOR]: This field shows the rate at which earnings for time over the indicated base hours is to be paid. This is used by for [FLSA] processing.
;[FLSA User Calc|USER_CALC_CODE]: If a UserCalc is needed to enhance the [FLSA] process it needs to be indicated here.
;[FLSA Calendar|CALENDAR_CODE]: If [FLSA] is to be calculated over more than 7 days, a calendar must be set up to define the cycle.
;[Accrual Method|ACCRUAL_METHOD]: The GL accrual method determines how to derive the accrual factor used in calculating end-of-month payroll accruals in the Payroll GL Process ([UPGL]). The ‘Calendar Days’ method calculates the payroll accrual factor by dividing the number of calendar days that have not been accounted for in the month by the number of calendar days in a standard pay period. The ‘Working Days’ method calculates the payroll accrual factor by dividing the number of working days that have not been accounted for in the month by the number of working days in a standard pay period.
;[GL Fund User Calc|USER_CALC_CODE ]:GL Fund UserCalc indicates the [User Calc|USERCALC] which will be used to calculate 'Balance To Complete' for the funds that are paid for employees of this group. This may be overridden at each individual fund level, on the [IDGF] screen.

!!Registrations tab
In the Registration tab you must define all levels of government registrations according to the Government Registrations on [IDGV] form. When an employee is paid under this group, all government reporting for the employee will be reported according to the registrations identified on this tab.\\
\\
;[Fed Regist Set|GOVT_REGIST_SET]: This field allows you to set up the Federal Registrations sets which will allow you to define one or multiple registrations at the federal level. You would most likely set up one government registration set on the [IDGV] form unless your company has multiple registrations with the government. For multiple government registrations, you may set up either different registrations sets or different registration types for registration set.
;[Fed Regist Type|FED_REGIST_TYPE]: For each registration set at the federal level, you can set up from 1 to 9 federal registration numbers. This field indicates the Federal Registration to which this group belongs.\\ e.g. US Fed Regist 1, US Fed Regist 2 .............…up to US Fed Regist 9\\ Cdn Fed Regist 1, Cdn Fed Regist 2 ........…. up to Cdn Fed Regist 9
;[Fed Regist #|GOVT_REGIST_NUMBER]: This value in this field is defaulted from the [IDGV] form once the Fed Regist Set and Fed Regist Type fields are completed. You will not be able to alter this information directly from this screen.
;[W2 Emp Type|W2_EMPLOYMENT_TYPE]: For US Quarterly and Year End Reporting, your are required to report to the USA government if the employee's type of employment is one of the following:
*Regular
*Agriculture
*Household
*Military
*Medicare Qualified
*Railroad\\This reporting is not used in Canada. If you are reporting for a Canadian company, select 'Regular' as the type of employment.
;[CDN EI Rate|CDN_EI_REDUCED_RATE]: In Canada, if an employer belongs to a specific Labor Wage Loss plan that qualifies them to pay a lower ‘Employment Insurance Employer’ rate, then the government will issue the Reduced EI rate to that employer and may assign the employer a different Business Number. If a secondary Business Number is assigned, then you must set up that number on the [IDGV] form. If only the EI Reduced Rate is assigned, then you may enter that rate on either the IDGR or [IDGV] form. The Cdn EI rate defined on IDGR overrides the Cdn EI Reduced Rate registration defined on [IDGV].
;[State/Prov Regist Set|GOVT_REGIST_SET]: This field allows you to set up State and Provincial Registrations sets that allow you to define one or multiple registrations at the state and provincial level. You would most likely set up one government registration set on the [IDGV] form unless your company has multiple registrations with the government. For multiple government registrations, you may set up either different registrations sets or different registration types for registration set. The State/Prov Regist Set may be the same or different than the Fed Regist Set.
;[State Regist Type|STATE_REGIST_TYPE]: For each registration set at the state and provincial level, you can set up from 1 to 9 state/provincial registration numbers. This field indicates the State/Prov Registration to which this group belongs.\\ \\e.g. US State Regist 1, US State Regist 2 ..........…up to US State Regist 9 \\ Cdn Prov Regist 1, Cdn Prov Regist 2 ........…up to Cdn Prov Regist 9 \\ \\Unlike the federal registration, IDGR will not retrieve and display the State/Prov Registration # after the State/Prov Regist Set and Regist Type are entered. This is because each group can have multiple employees who work and live in many State/Provinces. The actual State/Province Registration number will be retrieved by the Quarterly or Year End reports when the report is run.
;[Local Regist Set|GOVT_REGIST_SET]: This field allows you to set up Local Registrations sets that allow you to define one or multiple registrations at the local level. In US, you must enter the appropriate Govt. Regist Set defined on the [IDGV] form. In Canada, although there is currently no Local reporting at this moment, you should set this field to the same government registration set as defined for the Federal Regist Set for future expansion.
;[Local Regist Type|LOCAL_REGIST_TYPE]: For each registration set at the local level, you can set up from 1 to 9 local registration numbers. This field indicates the Local Registration to which this group belongs.\\ \\e.g.US Local Regist 1, US Local Regist 2 ........up to US Local Regist 9\\In Canada, although there is currently no Local reporting at this moment, you should enter ‘Cdn Loc - N/A’ in this field for future expansion. \\ \\Unlike the federal registration, IDGR will not retrieve and display the Local Registration # after the Local Regist Set and Regist Type are entered. This is because each group can be associated with many employees who work and live in many States. The actual Local Registration number will be retrieved by the Quarterly or Year End reports when the report is run.
;[WC Regist Type|WC_REGIST_TYPE]: This field will indicates the WC Registration type for this group. The type and the employee’s state/province will determine the WC Classes and WC Rates the employee receives. For this reason, a group can only belong to one WC Registration type.
