!!!How To Plan a UserCalc 1. Write a detailed description of what the user calculations needs to do. ;:For example: A UserCalc is required to calculate vacation pay for Groups A, B and D biweekly-paid employees. Vacation is calculated as 4% of the employee's eligible (vactionable) earnings for that regular pay.\\ \\ 2. Break the description into logical sections. The following questions can help you to do this: ;:__Section 1__\\Who must be processed? ;:Employees with a GROUP - CODE of A, B and D in the lexicon list called Group_List. ;:__Section 2__\\What information is necessary for the calculation? ;:The 4% vacation pay is defined as a Variable or User constant called VACN- RATE. Vacationable earnings are defined as an element called VACN-EARNS containing all qualified Earnings pay components. ;:__Section 3__\\What is the calculation? ;:Multiply VACN-EARNS by VACN- RATE to be paid out in pay component 256 Vac Pay\\ \\ 3. Create all necessary ‘Components’ needed for the UserCalc |[Pay Component|PAY COMPONENTS]|[IPPC] 256|Vac Pay |[Pay Element|PAY ELEMENTS]|[IPPE]|VACN-EARNS |User Constant|[IMVR]|VACN- RATE Numeric 0.04 |Lexicon List|[IMLN]|Group List |Variables|[IMUC]|Not needed for this UserCalc |Global Variables|[IMUC]|Not needed for this UserCalc \\ 4.
