An Element is a list of pay components that is defined for either a Personality or a user specified purpose. An element usually groups together pay components of the same type, such as all the earnings subject to a tax, benefit, pension, attendance or user defined calculation.

Pay elements can be used to specify the processing sequence of a list of pay components. e.g. when printing checks, printing pay components by the pay element sequence.

In addition to the required elements that need to be set up, users may create other payelements as needed.

Total Deductions’ is a required pay element that needs to be set up with all of the Deduction pay components.

The seq number in this element is the order of processing of these deductions. Therefore, deductions like taxes, government deductions, and garnishments should be listed before Benefits and Parking Fees.

The TOTAL DEDUCTION element also controls the order that insufficient earnings are processed.

ELEMENT TYPES - U.S. INSTALLATIONS#

It is best to first determine which of the elements, listed in the following pages, are required for your company’s set up. Once determined, review the elements required and see if any of the elements contain the exact same pay components.

For example, if Federal Taxable Earnings and State Taxable Earnings are exactly the same, then create one element and indicate the element in the pay component header (IPPC) for both the Fed Tax Earnings and State Tax Earnings PCs. This may cut down greatly the number of pay elements that need to be created and maintained.
