Compute Arrears - A summary of activity

Through this activity, you can compute the value of arrears due to the employees for an arrears set. The arrears can be computed for specified arrear process periods and specific sets of employees.

Arrears: It is the revised value of the arrear pay element for an arrear period. This is determined using a flat amount or a rule defined against each pay element in the “Define Arrears Set” activity. When a flat amount or a rule is not defined, the system gets the revised value of the pay element by executing the pay element rule that is defined under the activity “Map Payset to Pay Elements”. The revised value of the pay element is compared with the value as calculated earlier by payroll.  Any arrears given on the same element to the same employee for the same arrear period is also taken into consideration, when deriving the earlier value of the pay element. Subtracting the old value of the pay element from the revised value gives the arrear amount.

The system checks for the following before commencing on arrears computation:

• The  arrears set is defined using the  “ Define Arrears Set” activity

• The process status of the arrears set

You can view arrears details for a specific arrears set Id in the “Define Arrears Set ” page.
