Linked Earnings

The Linked Earnings window provides a means of grouping earnings components, Hours Types and or Allowance/Deductions for calculation purposes.

You can use Linked Earnings for a number of purposes:

• To group earning components for calculating percentage based salary sacrifice;

• To group earnings to be used in the calculation of Ordinary Pay;
• To group earnings that make up a theoretical salary amount, calculated by the Superannuation Transfer module, as required by a Superannuation Administrator;
• To configure which Hours Code contribute to the Hours Code;

• To split the costing for an allowance and it's associated On Costs by Hours Worked; and

• To split the costing for an Hours Payment (e.g. overtime) and it's associated On Costs by Hours Worked.

Prerequisite

• Super Transfer Parm (if using Superannuation Transfer Type)

Rules and Guidelines

• About Linked Earnings
• Each Linked Earnings record must be identified by a unique combination.
• Allowance/Deduction codes flagged to Exclude from Salary Package in the Salary or Allow/Deduction windows may be included in the setup of Linked Earnings. Although the Allowance/Deduction is not displayed in the employee's Salary Package window, the value is included in the calculation.
• When the option L("Costing Splits based on Linked Earnings") is used on an Hours or AD Code in the Include in Costing field with the appropriate Linked Earnings code, it can split hours in a way similar to the H option, but using the codes listed on the Linked Earnings screen instead.
• When CSAD is selected, users will be able to select either AD Codes from the Linked Earnings Code field. When CSHOURS is selected, users will be able to select either Hours Codes from the Linked Earnings Code field. It is important to know, however, that when any of the two is selected, users will only be able to select A/D Codes with a value of H in the Hours or AD field and Hours Codes with a value of L in the Include in Costing field
