This table lists two key supporting elements used in the definition of the delivered share scheme deductions and share schemes:

Element Type

Element Name

Description

Accumulator

SS AC BUY

The accumulator that is used to calculate contributions based on a percentage of earnings. The accumulator is associated with the share buy scheme on the Define Share Schemes GBR page. You can use the delivered accumulator or define your own for use with your organization's share schemes.

See Define Share Schemes GBR Page.

Formula

SS FM POST

A post process formula attached to all the share scheme deductions. It contains rules for suspending contributions during maternity leave, insufficient earnings, leaver and limits processing.

These sections are delivered for share scheme processing:

  • GBR SE SHAREBUY

    This section is processed before tax because share buy contributions are pre-tax deductions.

  • GBR SE SHARESAVE

    This section processes share save contributions, which are post-tax deductions. If you set up your own sections and process lists, you must ensure that the share save scheme section is processed after the statutory deduction sections for tax, NI, court orders, and student loans. Generally, share save contributions are also processed after company loans.

These sections are included in the GBR PR PAYROLL process list.

The PeopleSoft system delivers a query that you can run to view the names of all delivered elements designed for the United Kingdom. Instructions for running the query are provided in the PeopleSoft Global Payroll product documentation.
