If the user needs to enter an adjustment to the amount calculated by the system there are a few considerations. This applies to either the employee deduction or employer contribution.

Is there an open pay for the employee (IPPH)?

• If yes, the adjustments are entered prior to the pay being calculated then it can be entered directly into a pay line.
• If the user would like to enter the adjustment at any time (no open pay), then the adjustment can be entered into the Sundry (IPSN) as a one-time adjustment.

This is a client procedure decision, either method will work.

Will the user enter the adjustment value only or the total amount they expect to see in the employee’s pay?

Example: The employee’s regular dental deduction is $35.00 for a pay period. Employee owes an additional $10 for the same pay. Does the user want to enter $45 Dental or just the adjustment amount of $10.00?

This is a client procedure decision, either method will work.

NOTE: The Pay Point determines the order of processing in the gross to net calculation.

Set Up Required

This set up is based on the options of the benefit adjustments being made in the Sundry (IPSN) with the user entering the adjustment amount.

Pay Component (IPPC)

For the employee deduction and employer contribution pay components (if both), ensure the following is configured.

Action: Accumulate – this will accumulate the adjustment (+ or -) to the benefit calculated amount.
Pay Point – this must be after the pay point where the benefit plans are calculated. If you have the benefit plans being calculated at pay point 30, the pay component pay point in IPPC must be 40, 50 or 60. Therefore, the system will calculate the benefit plan values at pay point 30 and then calculate the adjustment after that.

Enter Sundry, Enter Date and Enter Value must be turned on to allow a Sundry to be entered.

Enter Sundry in IPSN

Frequency: One Time
Start Date and End Date: Pick a date within the pay period you want the adjustment to be processed.
PC: Enter either the employee or employer pay component to be adjusted.
Value: Enter the amount to be adjusted (10.00 or -10.00 for example).

Note: In the Line Info tab of the IPSN screen, the Pay Point Type will default from the pay component.
