Create Calculation Rules for Averages

In this step, you define the calculation rules for averages.

First, you define the calculation rules for averages according to the sequence specified here.

Activities

1. Define the relevancy rules, that you require.
Specify whether, under specific conditions, a definite period should be considered relevant or not for the calculation of averages.
If you do not use a relevancy rule, all average periods will be taken into account for the calculation of averages.
2. Define which Off-cycle periods are not to be taken into account for the calculation of averages.
If you do not wish to incorporate any off-cyle activities, you can skip these settings.
3. Specify the adjustment rules that you want touse in the cumulation rules.
For each adjustment rule, specify the factor by which your average bases are to be adjusted, or whether the adjustment is to be applied on an individual basis for each employee.
4. In the Cumulation rules you define which Average bases should be used. Here, specify which field and with which adjustment rules the average bases are to be cumulated with, and whether the cumulation should operate positively or negatively.
5. Adjust the formula for the calculation of average values to meet you needs. If you wish to use the formula which is described here, no further settings need to be made.
In the
Personnel calculation rule Calculation of averages according to cumulation a daily amount is calculated from the average bases. This average value is calculated with the "Amount/number" formula. If you do not calculate your average value with the "Amount/number" formula, you must adjust the personnel calculation rule according to your formula.
1. (Create the Final processing rules, that you require.
For the final processing you can once again select specific periods from the average periods and enter a given or modified final processing rule.)
2. Define Comparative rulesfor the average values that you have calculated. If you do not wish to compare the average value, you do not have to make any further settings.
The value that is calculated on this basis can be compared with another value that you specify here, for example, the standard wage. Specify the conditions which should apply to each value. The value calculated on this basis, or the comparative value will then be uesed as an average value.
3. Define Calculation rules for averages.
a) Enter the relevancy rules, cumulation rules, final processing rules, and comparative rules which you defined earlier.
b) Specify the number of previous periods that are to be used for the average periods and whether the current period should be included.
c) Specify whether the average value that is calculated is to be frozen. The average value will then be applied for the whole period, for example, in the case of an absence that extends beyond more than one payroll period.
d) If it is possible to pay the employee a set sum instead of a specified amount, enter the wage type that is to be used.
