Summary

When entering an allowance transaction, PayGlobal will automatically populate some fields. These fields are:

• Cost Centre.
• Factor.
• Rate (amount).

PayGlobal uses the following order when determining which values to use for each field.

Cost Centre

1. Awards - Allowances
2. Periods - Allowances
3. Internal Companies - Allowances
4. Allowances - Details (i)
5. Employees - Contract
6. Blank.

Factor

1. Awards - Allowances
2. Periods - Allowances
3. Internal Companies - Allowances
4. Allowances - Details (i).

Rate amount

PayGlobal uses the following hierarchy to determine the rate amount for allowance transactions.

1. Award Allowances | Details tab | Rate amount
2. Period Allowances | Details tab | Rate amount
3. Internal Company Allowance | Details tab | Rate amount
4. Allowances | Details (i) tab | Unit rate | Details tab | Rate amount

   PayGlobal then uses the employee's default rate.

5. Employees | Payroll | Rates tab - Defaults | Rate

   If no default exists or if the default is invalid, PayGlobal uses the first rate override.

   Note: A default is invalid if the Rate record does not contain values for Rate calculation and Factor calculation.

6. Employees | Payroll | Rates tab - Employee Rates | Details tab | Rate amount

   If no Employee Rates records exist, then PayGlobal uses the rate specified in the first Award Rates record.

7. Awards | Rates tab | Award Rates | Details tab | Rate amount

   If no Award Rates records exist, then PayGlobal uses zero.

8. 0 (zero).
