• Pay Group: Limits are pay group-specific as defined in the Pay Groups tab of the earning and apply for all employees who belong to the pay group.
• Pay Group or Employee Override: Default limits are pay group-specific defined in the Pay Groups tab of this earning and apply to all employees belonging to the pay group. Optionally, specify employee level overrides on payroll election records in the employee profile.

Default limits are payee-specific and defined in the Payees tab of the earning and apply to all employees who belong to that payee.

When you select Yes, auto-populates the payee by default when adding a new payroll election record for this earning in an employee's profile. When the Allow Payee checkbox is selected, you must mark one payee as the default for each effective date range.

You can mark a payee with future effective dates, and you can mark different default payees with different date ranges. For example, Default Payee A has an Effective From date of 4/29/2019 and an Effective To date of 03/19/2021, and Default Payee B has an Effective From date of 03/22/2021 and no Effective To date.

Select this checkbox to associate payouts with the last pay period a terminated employee actually worked in cases where termination takes place during a pay period the employee does not have any insurable hours.

Defines the calculation formula the application uses to convert the remaining balance to the dollar amount that is automatically paid to the employee upon termination:

• {b} represents one unit of the balance to be paid out.
• {EMP_BASE_RATE} returns the employee’s base rate.
• {EMP_VAC_RATE} returns the employee’s vacation rate.
• {EMP_DAILY_HR} returns the employee’s average daily hours.
• {EMP_WEEKLY_HR} returns the employee’s normal weekly hours. Standard mathematical symbols can be used: multiplication (*), division (/), addition (+) and subtraction (-). For example: {b}*{EMP_BASE_RATE} pays out the employee’s balance multiplied by their base rate.
