perS/CAP/
- Enter 'perS//' when the flat deduction amount should be prorated based on the employee's combined Percent Employed. The Percent Employed will be accumulated from all active function lines where applicable.
- Enter 'perS/.##/ where ## is the FTE Cap. When an FTE cap is defined, then the deduction is only prorated when the employee's combined Percent Employed is less than the FTE cap. With the Extra defined as 'perS/.60/' then employees with an FTE of 60% or more will receive the full deduction amount, employees with an FTE less than 60% will have the deduction amount prorated.
Group 5 Type 1
This is a non-voluntary deduction based on a percentage of eligible earnings per pay period. A yearly limit may be entered if necessary. The Extras line allows maximum eligible earnings to be defined.
An alternate definition for this group and type for use with WCB is to leave the Factor in the database empty and define the percentage of earnings under the Extras line. On the Extras define the percentage of earnings in the third position with 'WCB' in the second position. This option leaves the Factor/Amount blank. For employees where the WCB insurable earnings should be less than 100%, enter the percentage per employee on the Employee's deduction master as the Amount. Enter 80.00 for 80%. The employee's WCB insurable earnings and WCB calculation will then be done based on 80% of the employee's eligible earnings.
For WCB deduction only, you can define the EI Rebate to be included as Eligible Earnings during the payroll stream calculation of WCB by adding the EI Rebate to the Deduction Include list. For this purpose, the WCB must be a Group 5 Type 1 and defined under the Cross Payroll Limiting Profile as category WCB. To include EI Rebate, you must also include the WCB deduction under field "Allow Benefit Eligible" under the User Specific Parameters Profile per payroll.
