Payroll > Payslips > Payroll preparation > Pay preparation slips > Preparation slips 

Use this function to create, modify, duplicate, delete a pay preparation slip. Operational managers can perform the following actions:

  • Select the list code of payroll variables to pre-load the entry screen,
  • pre-load or not supervisors,
  • enter payroll variables for:
    • their team (individually or by batch) for the current payroll date and forthcoming ones,
    • others, for delegation,
  • enter a comment by variable,
  • add a general comment,
  • inquire the history of entries in navigation.
    SEEREFERTTO View the scrolling option.

The pay date is initialized on the pay date corresponding to the current pay month. When the pay order is performed, the payslip is initialized based on the activity period start date.

The operating manager can only select the current pay date (as long as the pay order is not performed) or an upcoming pay date.
The pay supervisor can manually modify all the data of the entry grid, including the pay date.

Once the request is validated by the manager, payroll variables which do not require hierarchical validation are initialized to the Accepted value by default. Only the requests requiring a validation have the Request status and are subject to the signature management.

Prerequisites

SEEREFERTTO Refer to documentation Implementation

Screen management

Use the four tabs containing pre-loaded grids with the list of employees / contracts followed by the manager and the variables of the chosen list to perform the entry.

The pre-loading is performed on creation of a new slip.

Four entry modes are available for the manager:

  • entry window,
  • entry by variable,
  • entry using ID number,
  • entry by elements.

These entry modes are available at any time and are dynamic: updating data in one grid triggers their propagation in real time in all the grids containing these data.

The fields enterable in the grids are:

  • the requested amount,
  • the associated comment (only if an amount is present),
  • the status, if the user has rights on the function where the manager / supervisor is.

Creation of a pay preparation slip

Fields

The following fields are included in this window :

Block number 1

This field displays the manager ID. By default, the ID associated with the connected user is proposed. The loading of the field is performed based on the setup in the Business process function.

  • Description (field DES)

 

Block number 2

In multi-legislated folders (where the LEG activity code is active), the Legislation fields are displayed.

  • If a legislation has been set in the LEGFIL (Legislation selection filter) parameter (SUP chapter, INT group), it is used as the default but can be changed if needed.
  • If LEGFIL has no legislation set, there will not be a default, so the Legislation field will have to be entered appropriately.

If a legislation is entered in the record header, other fields entered must follow any rules applicable to the legislation.

If a legislation is not entered in the record header, it might be deduced from another element (such as the company, site, or employee) and again, other fields entered must follow any rules applicable to the legislation.

If a multi-legislation group of companies is selected, other fields entered must follow any rules applicable to the legislation of at least one company in the group.


Example

If you select a group of British (BRI) and French (FRA) legislation companies, you cannot enter a value in a field that is only applicable to the South African (ZAF) legislation.

In single legislation folders (where the LEG activity code is not active), the Legislation fields are not displayed.
