Benefit/Deduction Sequences

Description
Benefit/deduction sequences are a mechanism by which you can associate some benefit/deduction codes to a single calculation sequence number and depletion sequence number in a grouping. Benefit/deductions associated in such a way can have their calculation and depletion sequences controlled at a more granular level to determine their order of calculation/depletion relative to one another within the grouping, but still calculated or depleted as a whole with respect to other benefit/deductions not in the grouping. You can also change their sequence on a worker-by-worker basis.
Benefit/deduction sequences are optional. Their intended use is for added control in the order of benefit/deduction calculation and depletion in cases where workers have many deductions that can compete for withholding depending on order of arrival, and each worker can have a different order, such as garnishment orders.
Assigned benefit/deductions associated with a sequence can have their calculation and depletion sequence overridden on the Worker benefit/deductions form.
Fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Benefit/deduction sequence | Name of the benefit/deduction sequence group |
| Short code | 5-character identifier. Defaults to the first five characters of the name. |
| Benefit/deduction sequence description | Long description of the benefit/deduction sequence group |
| Calculation sequence | Sequence number for determining order of calculation during pay processing. All benefit/deduction codes associated with this benefit/deduction sequence will have this calculation sequence relative to other benefit/deductions. Lower sequence numbers are calculated first. |
| Depletion sequence | Sequence number for determining order of depletion during pay processing. All benefit/deduction codes associated with this benefit/deduction sequence will have this depletion sequence relative to other benefit/deductions. Lower sequence numbers are deducted first. |
| Active date | First date the record is in effect |
| Expiry date | Last date the record is in effect |
