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. Use_FTE_Wages is an optional toggle field.
;[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.

!!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. Govt_Regist_Set from [IDGV] [P2K_CM_GOVT_REGIST_SETS] is a 16-character alphanumeric mandatory field.
;[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_Type is a mandatory fixed lexicon [X_GOVT_REGIST_TYPE] that you may use to look up the value.
;[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. This Fed Regist # is stored in GOVT_REGIST_NUMBER of the group.
;[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. W2_Employment_Type is a mandatory fixed lexicon [X_W2_EMPLOYMENT_TYPE].
;[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]. CDN_EI_Reduced_Rate is an optional numeric field.
;[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. Govt_Regist_Set from [IDGV] [(P2K_CM_GOVT_REGIST_SETS)] is a 16-character alphanumeric mandatory field.
;[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 \\ \\State_Regist_Type is a mandatory fixed lexicon [X_GOVT_REGIST_TYPE]. \\ \\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. Govt_Regist_Set from [IDGV] [P2K_CM_GOVT_REGIST_SETS] is a 16-character alphanumeric mandatory field.
;[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. \\ \\Local_Regist_Type is a mandatory fixed lexicon [X_GOVT_REGIST_TYPE]. \\ \\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 Resigstration type. WC_Regist_Type is an optional field which you may complete with a value from the fixed lexicon [X_WC_REGIST_TYPE].
