To define ECONs and SCONs, use the ECON Table GBR component (GPGB_ECON_SETUP) and the SCON Table GBR component (GPGB_SCON_SETUP). This section provides an overview of ECONs and SCONs and lists the pages used to define ECON and SCON values.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding ECONs and SCONs

Before you enter National Insurance details for your payees, you need to define employer contracted out numbers (ECONs) and scheme contracted out numbers (SCONs) for your organization.

In the United Kingdom, employees who are members of a pension scheme that meets certain criteria are contracted out of the state second pension and therefore entitled to a rebate on their Class 1 National Insurance Contributions (NICs). HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) tracks these pension schemes using ECON and SCONs. Employers that set up such pension schemes are issued with ECONs. COMP (Contracted Out Money Purchase) schemes are also issued with an SCON.

In Global Payroll for the U.K., you define all the ECON and SCONs for your organization on the ECON Table GBR and SCON Table GBR pages. You select a default ECON for each pay entity on the Pay Entity Details GBR page.

Payees are associated with ECON and SCONs when you enter their National Insurance details on the Maintain NI Data GBR page . The NI Category code determines whether an ECON or SCON is required (you can also use both). The system displays the pay entity ECON, but you can override this default.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicSetting Up Calendars

For U.K. payroll, calendars must have these overrides:

See Defining Processing Elements for Supplementary Runs.

Here is an example of calendar overrides for the U.K. (select Set Up HRMS, Product Related, Global Payroll and Absence Mgmt, Framework, Calendars, Calendars):

The formula TAX FM EFFDT uses the TAX VR PERIOD and TAX VR BGN YR variables (and the frequency system element PRD FREQ NAME) to determine the tax effective date (TAX DT EFFDT). This is a key date that is used in the statutory tax and NI calculations.

The Tax Effective Date is required to ensure that payroll and statutory reporting are accurate. The year-to-date accumulators for tax and National Insurance are based on the date derived from TAX FM EFFDT. The TAX DT EFFDT date is derived from these variables that are populated by the TAX FM EFFDT formula:

Note. An additional supporting element override may be required in the last period of the tax year to ensure that directors' NI is calculated on a cumulative basis in the final period. To indicate that a calendar is the last period of the tax year, add the variable TAX VR LAST PERIOD to the Supporting Element Override page and assign it the value Y. Directors' NI is explained in the Defining Payee Statutory Tax and National Insurance Details chapter.

If you are setting up a calendar group to process both absence and payroll, set up two calendars, one for payroll and one for absence. When you define the absence calendar use the Target Calendar field on the Definition page to identify the payroll calendar in which the processed absence is paid.

This means that you must define the payroll calendar before you can define the absence calendar. Here is an example of a calendar group for the U.K (select Set Up HRMS, Product Related, Global Payroll and Absence Mgmt, Framework, Calendars, Calendar Groups):

This section discusses:

Job Data Action and Reason Codes

When you update employee job data in the PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources business process, you use action and reason codes to identify the personnel action. The action code identifies the type of change, such as a termination or transfer, and the reason code provides more detail about the action.

For example, you could have one action code for terminations and a set of reason codes associated to the termination code. This table gives some examples of action and reason codes you might set up:

Action

Reason

Description

TER

EFT

Termination — end of fixed term contract

TER

CON

Termination — misconduct

XFR

ICT

Transfer — intercompany

XFR

TAF

Transfer — to affiliate

You can use action codes without reason codes (the reason field is not a required field) — this is a decision you make during implementation. This table shows how you could create set of different action codes for terminations:

Action

Description

TER

Termination

TWB

Termination with benefits

Process Action and Reason Page

In Global Payroll for the U.K, you may need certain processes to select employees who have rows in job data with particular action and reason codes. The Process Action/Reasons GBR page (Set Up HRMS, Product Related, Global Payroll & Absence Mgmt, Framework, Processing, Process Action/Reasons GBR) enables you to define which of the Action and Reason codes available in job data apply to a specific payroll process. PeopleSoft delivers data for the P45 process and to identify starters (P01 starter identification) .

Selecting Actions and Reasons for P45 Processing

The P45 Application Engine process (GPGB_P45) uses the Process Action and Reasons table to identify those employees who require a P45 (combined with the selection criteria you enter when you run the process). It searches employee job data for employees with the action codes that you select on the Process Action/Reasons GBR page. Most commonly P45s are issued to employee who have left employment. Therefore you need to specify the action codes that you use for terminating employees. However, you may also issue P45s in other situations and you need to ensure that these action codes are included on the Process Action/Reasons GBR page.

It is important to set up the Process Action/Reasons GBR page to match the way that your HR personnel use the action and reason codes when updating employee job data.

Important! If the Process Action/Reasons GBR page is set up incorrectly, the P45 process may not identify employees who should be issued with a P45.

For each action code you can select which associated reason codes are processed and whether employees with a blank reason code are selected. This table summarizes the four ways in which you can you set up the Process Action/Reasons GBR page:

Include Blank

Specified Reasons

Description

Not selected

Not selected

Process selects any reason. It excludes employees with a blank reason code field.

Selected

Not selected

Process selects any reason, including a blank reason code field.

Not selected

Selected

Process selects reasons defined. It excludes employees with a blank reason code field.

Selected

Selected

Process selects reasons defined, including a blank reason code field.

For example, suppose you set up the action and reason codes listed in this table:

Action

Reason

Description

TER

EFT

Termination — end of fixed term contract

TER

CON

Termination — misconduct

TER

UNS

Termination — unsatisfactory performance

You have employees with these rows in job data:

Empl ID

Action

Reason

GB001

TER

If the Process Action/Reasons GBR page is set up as follows:

Action

Include Blank Reason

Specified Reasons

Reasons

TER

Not selected

Not selected

None selected

The P45 process selects employees GB001 and GB003 only because they have reason codes. GB002 is not selected because the employee does not have a reason code and the Include Blank check box is not selected.

If the Process Action/Reasons GBR page is set up as follows:

Action

Include Blank Reason

Specified Reasons

Reasons

TER

Selected

Not selected

None selected

The P45 process selects employees GB001, GB002 and GB003. Employee GB002 is now selected because the Include Blank check box is selected

If the Process Action/Reasons GBR page is set up as follows:

Action

Include Blank Reason

Specified Reasons

Reasons

TER

Not selected

Selected

CON, UNS

The P45 process selects employees GB003 only. Employee GB002 is not selected because the employee doesn't have a reason code. GB001 is not selected because the employee doesn't have one of the reason codes CON or UNS.

If the Process Action/Reasons GBR page is set up as follows:

Action

Include Blank Reason

Specified Reasons

Reasons

TER

Selected

Selected

CON, UNS

The P45 process selects employees GB003 and GB002 only. Employee GB002 is now selected because include blank is selected. Employee GB001 is not selected because the employee doesn't have one of the reason codes CON or UNS.

Selecting Action Reasons for Starter Processing

During payroll processing, Global Payroll for the U.K. uses the Process Action and Reasons table to identify those employees who have a new period of employment within Global Payroll for the U.K. and require new accumulators for statutory calculations and reporting. This occurs when an employee is hired, rehired, and for certain types of transfers. Typically when an employee is transferred into Global Payroll for the U.K. from an external entity (for example, from overseas or from another country payroll), this is treated as a new period of employment. The P01 Starter Identification record lists the action and reasons that identify starters. This information is used by Global Payroll for the U.K. to identify new periods of employment from a payroll perspective.

Before you can set up the action and reason codes for payroll processes you must review the job data action and reason codes delivered by PeopleSoft. Depending on your organizational requirements you can modify the delivered reasons or create new reason codes.

Court Orders are not reported within statutory reports and therefore the fiscal YTD is not relevant. However to ensure that the Court Order balance can be calculated, accumulators are required to identify how much has been deducted to date. These accumulators use a Custom Period rather than Fiscal Year to Date.

Click to jump to parent topicReviewing Triggers for the U.K.

In Global Payroll, the mechanism used to detect online changes to data that should result in some type of system action is called a trigger. Examples of common data changes that might use triggers are the hiring of a new payee, a change in pay rate, and a change in job location. There are three types of triggers: iterative, retro, and segmentation.

Before you can use a trigger to process a payee, perform segmentation, or perform retroactive processing, you must set up a trigger definition to tell the system that when a particular change to the database occurs, it should generate the desired trigger. Define Trigger Event IDs on the Trigger Definitions page in the core application.

Review the triggers delivered by PeopleSoft and decide if you need to define additional triggers for your organization. Global Payroll for the U.K. delivers a retro trigger for processing starters' payments as explained in this table:

Type

Retro Process Definition

Trigger Definition

Purpose

Retro Forwarding

RETRO HIRE

JOB

Field name: ACTION

Values: HIR, REH

This trigger is used for payees whose first payment is made several pay periods after the initial Hire Date. For this type of payment, the NI contributions have to be made according to the NI code that applies for the reference period.

For the retro trigger for terminations and retirement actions, the OffSet Days field on the Trigger Definitions — Field Value page is set to –1 to adjust the effective date of the trigger compared to the effective date of the change in the JOB record. In earlier versions of Global Payroll, the trigger effective date was always equal to the effective date of the JOB record change.

This page shows the Offset Days setting for the U.K. retro trigger for JOB (select Set Up HRMS, Product Related, Global Payroll and Absence Mgmt, Triggers, Trigger Definitions, Trigger Definitions. Click the List Field Values link on the Trigger Definitions page):

PeopleSoft delivers these segmentation triggers for the U.K.:

Type

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Segmentation

Segmentation is the process of dividing a pay period into partial periods, known as segments or slices, and calculating all or a subset of elements for each segment or slice. Segmentation is required when there is a change, such as a pay increase, during the pay period that affects the calculation of elements. Global Payroll provides two types of segmentation:

This section provides guidelines on setting up segmentation for the U.K. Refer to the PeopleSoft Enterprise Global Payroll 9.1 PeopleBook for detailed information about segmentation.

Defining Segmentation

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicSetting Up Element Segmentation

During implementation, consider which of your elements require element segmentation. It's important that you review the design of your primary and supporting elements and add the correct elements to the Segmentation Event Definition page. If element segmentation is not defined correctly, you may have some elements that are not resolved correctly because associated supporting elements are not sliced. Here are some guidelines to explain how element segmentation works:

To illustrate the importance of adding the correct supporting elements, consider the example trigger event ID that PeopleSoft delivers for U.K. element segmentation (select Set Up HRMS, Product Related, Global Payroll and Absence Mgmt, Triggers, Segmentation Event Definitions, Segmentation Event Definition):

The earning element GBR ER REGPY is the primary element that requires element segmentation. The array GBR AR EE NI and the formula GBR FM ACCDT2 appear on this list because they are used to resolve the user keys of the accumulator GBR AC NIBL PTD to which GBR ER REGPY contributes.

If the array and the formula were not on this list, the NI category and the hire date would not be resolved for each slice. This would lead to incorrect NI calculations and accumulators without a hire date.

When you have set up the Segmentation Event Definition page for element segmentation, define the trigger definition that links element segmentation to the relevant record. PeopleSoft delivers a trigger for the COMPENSATION record so that if an employee's compensation is modified, element segmentation is triggered.
