Creating Employee and Qualifying clauses is similar to creating a query. However, creating action clauses is usually more complex because they use accumulators (Add to accumulator 1 a quantity of 12000).

In action clauses, PayGlobal uses the accumulator as a virtual whiteboard to hold a value during calculations. You can then clear the accumulator by posting the value (Post allowance rate amount from accumulator 1) or resetting the accumulator.

Notes tab

When you create a payroll rule, you should always use the Notes tab to explain the rule’s purpose. This information is useful for troubleshooting, and it helps clients understand what the payroll rule is doing.

For example:

A. Smith - 01/08/2009

This rule creates the payment for the Systems Consultants car allowance payment.

• The position must be equal to SYSCON
• The rule applies to Standard pays only.
• The rule is based on a weekly pay period.
• The payment is specified as an annual amount and is updated in the rule itself.
