CMD: Command

Commands: Used to perform operations within a UserCalc.

Comparison Operators: Allows the UserCalc to compare two values

[D]#

Database Fields: Allow the user to access a large amount of information about the employee from within a UserCalc.

Date OT: A string that should be interpreted as a date by the program.

Disbursement Messages: The lines of information that will print on the employee’s payroll stub/deposit stub.

[E]#

Elements: A group of pay components that, for convenience in calculations, are added together and named, and may be referenced by Calculations, and in some instances, Functions and Qualifiers.

[F]#

Function: May return a Boolean, Char(acter), Date, or Number value. Functions may be part of a Calculation UserCalc as a CALL, or may be a stand alone UserCalc for the Attendance or Benefits modules.

[G]#

Global Values: Used to hold information between UserCalcs for one employee.

Global Variables: Variables that hold their value beyond the existing UserCalc.

Round Nearest: Defines the level of rounding within a UserCalc.

[S]#

Statistics: Used to hold information for each employee that is not easily accessed with Pay Components.

System Constants: Provided to allow the user access to typically required dates

System Variables: The amounts calculated by the FLSA process ONLY.
