This article explains how to setup the personal/ pay-scale rates to be displayed under the Personal Details > Seniority > Additional Info section.

Introduction

In APM there is a possibility to setup various rates (personal/ pay-scale) to be displayed under the Personal Details > Seniority > Additional Info section.

It is a very convenient way to view person's salary rates without actually opening Pay-scales or Personal Rates section, especially if the user doesn't have access to do this.

Setup and Configuration

The configuration of the Additional Info section is performed under the Setup → Global options → Seniority section.

Here the administrator can define various rates (personal/ pay-scale) to be displayed under the Personal Details > Seniority > Additional Info section.

This section is especially designed to display Payscale Rates (e.g. Basic Wage etc.) that can increase based on the seniority years.

However, it is also possible to make it display Personal Rates, Global Rates, Company Rates etc.

Fields setup

1. Click "Add" to insert a new line for the additional field.
   
   
2. Define the Text/Name for this fields (e.g. Basic Wage, Compensation).
3. Add a formula for the amount to be displayed that that line.
   (e.g. @X1 – to pick up PayScale rate 1).

Adding formula

Here is the list of possible values you would probably like to display in the Additional Info section.

1. In order to refer to a single field in the Formula column you need to use @ sign in front of of it.
   
   

2. In order to refer to a payroll script handling various rates use the formula of the following pattern @@ADO:005 where:

   Component	Description
   @@	script package identifier
   ADO	script package code
   :	Separator (between script package code and order number of a script)
   005	script number in the package PWSCRADO.DEF (always 3 digits)
   ! (optional component)	@@!ADO:005 is used to tell the script object to return a result as integer. If the result is in decimals, then the system truncates it to integer.

   To read more about the payroll scrip check this article Payroll Script.
   
   Let's see how to setup a formula for handing both Personal Rate and Payscale Rate in one line at the same time.
   It is required in cases when we want the system to display either Personal Rate (if added) or Payscale Rate.
   
   

    PAYSCALE AND PERSONAL RATES USED TOGETHER

   • First we need to create a new script pack under Payroll > Scripts Editor.
     Let's call it "Additional fields scripts".
     
     Then we need to add scripts for each Personal & Payscale rate pair that we want to use.
     Let's use the name of the rate for each script: "Basic Wage (Rate 1)", "Compensation (Rate 3)".
     
     
     
     
     
     

   • For each script we need to input the formula of the following pattern:
     

     
     

     IF PR1<>0 THEN
     W0=PR1
     ELSE
     W0=X1
     ENDIF

     In most cases Personal & Payscale rate paids accupy the same lines (e.g. Basic Wage rate would be in same line under both Personal & Payscale)
     However, sometimes Personal Rates of the same pair may occupy different lines, so you need to be careful and check this before you create a script.
     
     
     
     
     

Currency handing options:

• Show amount in Payscale currency - when ON – amounts in Payscale section of Seniority tab are displayed being calculated in the same currency as the Payscale Table, ignoring currency that is set in Company properties (Org. structure -> Company -> Payroll -> General)
  
  

• Show Person Rate in Specified Currency – when it is ON - amounts in Payscale section of Seniority tab are displayed being calculated in the same currency as it is specified under Payroll > Rates.
