Setting Up Calculation Rules

This topic discusses how to define festive advance calculation rules.

To set up festive advance calculation rules, use the Calculation Rule (FA_CALC_RULE) component.

Before you allocate festive advances to employees, set up the rules by which you'll determine the amount of the festive advance paid. Then use these rules to set up one or more pay programs using the Pay Program page.

FA Calculation Rule

You can have as many calculation rules as you need, depending on corporate policies. You might have a different rule for each of the festivals, or you might have different rules for shop floor staff and senior executives. Alternatively, you might have just one rule for all employees for all occasions.
