Salary Equalization - Fields

 

Salary Equalization

Pay Cycle

Select the pay cycle to process.

 

Type of Employees to Include

Select the type of employees to include in the salary equalization.

 

Equalize to What Percentage

Type the percentage for equalizing salaries. Typically the percentage is set to 100.00%. Under certain circumstances, however, you may want to equalize to a different percentage.

For example, if you want to post to Job Cost on a weekly basis, but you pay employees biweekly, and you want to post equalized wages, you can equalize to 50% during the first week of the pay period. Any change to this percentage will cause the pay period date range to recalculate to be the number of days in the pay cycle multiplied by the equalization percentage.

 

Period Starting Date

Enter the starting date of the pay period or click the Calendar button to select a date from the calendar.

If you enter a date in the Period Ending Date field before entering a date in this field, the starting date is automatically calculated and appears in this field, but it can be changed. Only Time Track Entry records dated within this range will be processed.

 

Recalculate Pay Rate

Select this check box to recalculate the pay rate on each Time Track Entry record that is processed based on the number of hours worked. Clear this check box to leave the pay rate unchanged.

 

Set Approval Flag to Yes

Select this check box to automatically select the Approval check box for each Time Track Entry record that is processed. Clear this check box to leave the Approval check box unchanged.

This field is available only if the Require Approval to Post Time Entries check box is selected in Time Track Options.

 

Period Ending Date

Enter the ending date of the pay period or click the Calendar button to select a date from the calendar.

If you enter a date in the Period Starting Date field before entering a date in this field, the ending date is automatically calculated and appears in this field, but it can be changed. Only Time Track Entry records dated within this range will be processed.

 

Operand

Select an operand to limit your selection to a particular value or range of values. When selecting a value using the Lookup button or entering a value directly into the Value field (and moving out of the field), the operand automatically changes to Equal to. Likewise, when selecting a value using the Lookup button for a range or entering values directly into both Value fields, the operand automatically changes to Range.

The following operands are available:

Operand

Operand Function

All Selects all information for the Select Field.
Begins with Selects only the information for the Select Field that begins with the value entered in the Value field.
Ends with Selects only the information for the Select Field that ends with the value entered in the Value field.
Contains Selects only the information for the Select Field that contains the value entered in the Value field.
Less than Selects only the information for the Select Field that is less than, but not equal to, the value entered in the Value field.
Greater than Selects only the information for the Select Field that is greater than or equal to the value entered in the Value field.

Range

When Range is selected, two Value fields are used. Information is selected that is greater than or equal to the first value entered and less than or equal to the second value entered in the Value fields.


Note Entries in the "From" Value field may change to the entry made in the "To" Value field, if the "From" Value contains a lowercase letter and the "To" Value contains an uppercase letter. This occurs because lowercase letters are greater than uppercase letters. For example, if 01a is entered in the "From" Value field and 01C is entered in the "To" Value field, the "From" Value field changes to 01C.

Equal to

Selects only the information for the Select Field that is equal to the value entered in the Value field.

Not Equal to

Selects only the information for the Select Field that is not equal to the value entered in the Value field.

 

Additional operands are available for date Select fields. The system date is used to calculate the date ranges. When one of the date operands is selected, the Value fields automatically default to the appropriate dates.

You can use commas (,) to separate multiple values; however, if your selection values already contain commas, you must use alternate separators to separate them.

Note When alternate separators are used, the value list must end with the alternate separator character.

The alternate separators include the following:

~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) = [ ] \ ; " / _ + { } | : < > ?

Note If you enter a value that contains a comma (for example, if a vendor number is 01-SAGE,WEST), then you must enclose the value with an alternate separator (for example, %01-SAGE,WEST%). Because the comma is a separator, if the value is not enclosed in alternate separators, the system can search for two incorrect values (for example, "01-SAGE" and "WEST", instead of "01-SAGE,WEST").

If your company uses commas in item codes, use an alternate separator to select one or multiple item codes.

 

Value

Enter a value based on the operand entered, or click the Lookup or Calendar button to select a value from the list. Multiple values can be entered by using a comma or alternate separators to separate values.

For customer number, vendor number, and item code select fields, you can start typing a customer name, vendor name, or item description to locate a record. As you type, a list of records matching your entry appears. You can then select a record from the list.

You can enter single or multiple values as follows:

Operand

Value

All Selects all information for the Select Field.

Begins with

Multiple values are separated by a comma or alternate separator. An OR condition is assumed.

Ends with

Multiple values are separated by a comma or alternate separator. An OR condition is assumed.

Contains

Multiple values are separated by a comma or alternate separator. An OR condition is assumed.

Less than Only single values are allowed.
Greater than Only single values are allowed.
Range Both Value fields are used to define a range. Only single values are allowed at each Value field.
Equal to Multiple values are separated by a comma or alternate separator. An OR condition is assumed.

Not Equal to

Multiple values are separated by a comma or alternate separator. An AND condition is assumed.

Note If you enter a value that contains a comma (for example, if a vendor number is 01-SAGE,WEST), then you must enclose the value with an alternate separator (for example, %01-SAGE,WEST%). Because the comma is a separator, if the value is not enclosed in alternate separators, the system can search for two incorrect values (for example, "01-SAGE" and "WEST", instead of "01-SAGE,WEST").
