Understanding Administer Festive Advance

This chapter discusses:

The Administer Festive Advance business process in Human Resources offers festive advance functionality for Malaysia and Singapore.

The core of Administer Festive Advance includes eight main phases of operation:

Group your festive advance payment rules to create the programs you'll use to pay festive advances to your employees.
Link your festive advance pay programs to specific job codes.

Override any default festive advance setup for specific employees.
Identify eligible employees and calculate the festive advance based on setup, rules, and type of festive holiday.

When implementing Administer Festive Advance you will set up the following tables. These tables are the building blocks for your festive advances.

Table	Definition
Religions	The religions you associate with specific ethnic groups and festive holiday types.
Ethnic Group	The ethnic groups you associate with specific religions and festive holiday types.
Personal Data - Eligibility/Identity	To set up the employee's default religion and ethnic group.
Festive Advance Calc Rule	Before you allocate festive advances to your employees, set up the rules by which you'll determine the amount of the festive advance to be paid.
Job Code Table - Job Code Profile	Link your festive advance pay programs to specific job codes.
Job Data - Employment Information	Use for changing employee festive advance defaults
Festive Advance Pay Program	After you’ve set up the support tables (including the calculation rules by which you'll determine the amount of the festive advance payment), use these rules to set up one or more pay programs with the Festive Advance Pay Program page. Use these pay programs to pay festive advances to your employees.
