6. Gratuity

An option to automatically pay gratuity to employees on contract was added.  The gratuity is (1) paid as Other Income, (2) based on a percentage or set value and (3) is triggered based on the contract end period.  This is how it works.

Step 1 - Set up Transactions-Payroll Linkages

Set up the Transaction-Payroll Link using HR Code = GRT.

Personnel>> Transactions>> Transactions-Payroll Linkages

  • Payroll Code:  user-defined

Step 2 - Enter the Contract

Enter and save the contract details for the employee.  The system will use the Contract To date to determine the pay cycle in which the gratuity cycle change will be automatically generated.

Personnel>> Employees>> [search for the employee]>> [Toggle Additional Details]>> Contract

  • Pay Cycle:  the value in this field does not affect the gratuity payment period.

Step 3 - Gratuity Setup

Define the gratuity options.

Personnel>> Employees>> [search for the employee]>> [Toggle Additional Details]>> Contract>> Gratuity Setup

Either of the following two (2) options can be set up to pay a percentage or a cash amount at the end of the contract based on the Contract To date.  The system will automatically generate the records in the GRATUITY screen (Personnel>>Transactions>>GRATUITY) shown in Step 4.

Step 3.1 Cash

Check the Cash button and enter the $ Amount.  Save.

Step 3.2 Percentage

Check the Percentage button and enter the Gratuity %.  Select the option on which the percentage is based i.e. Pay Rate, Salary or Straight Time (Payroll>>Employees>>Pay Profile>>[search for employee]>>[double-click on employee record]>>Pay Profile/Year to Date).  Save.

Payroll>> Employees>> Pay Profile>> [search for employee]>> [double-click on employee record]>> Pay Profile/Year to Date>> Save

Step 3.3 Advanced Setup

This option is an override and allows the payment of the gratuity in user-defined amounts paid in user-defined periods.

Personnel>> Employees>> [search for employee]>> [Toggle Additional Details]>> Contract>> Advanced Setup

  • Enter the records and save.  Validation checks ensure that the Period Start and PERIOD END dates are consistent with the initial contract period set up.   The system will automatically generate the records in the GRATUITY screen (Personnel>>Transactions>>GRATUITY) shown in Step 4.
  • Expand a record to [+] to define the Payroll Codes on which the gratuity payment is based.  Only applicable to payment by Percentage.

Step 4 - View/Post Gratuity Records

The gratuity records set up in Step 3 will be automatically displayed in the GRATUITY screen.  The records may be edited and/or posted to the Cycle Changes screen for payroll processing.  You may also mass import records via the Download Template and Import buttons.

Personnel>> Transactions>> Gratuity

Step 5 - Process Gratuity

The gratuity records will be posted to the Cycle Changes screen for payroll processing.

Payroll>> Cycle Changes>> [search by Pay Group, Pay Year, Cycle No]

  • Process the payroll as you normally would.

7. Company Stamp

The ability to add a Company Stamp to Self-Service Pay Slips was added.  

System Configurations>> Company Parameters>> Pay Slip Options Self Serve

8. Option 14 – Standard Pay Slip

The user code character limit was increased from 12 to 30 alphanumeric characters so that there’s no truncation in the success/fail employee email listing.

Payroll>> Payroll Reports>> Payroll Reports>> Pay Slips>> Option 14 - Standard Pay Slip

9. Cash Coinage by Employee

The report was modified to allow the user to edit the denominations as required.  Enter 0.00 if a denomination is not being used.  Standard options for the Eastern Caribbean, Guyana, Jamaica and Standard are included for ease of use but may be edited, if necessary.
