DEFINE USER VARIABLES#
If an amount needs to be used by a pay component or a UserCalc, it should be created as a user variable. This allows the amount to be changed, date effectively, in one place. Any pay component or UserCalc that references this user variable will then automatically use the new rate.You may create and maintain user variables through the Maintain User Variable (IMVR) form.
