When the GLI is taken over 10 pay periods there will be no rounding discrepancy. When other than 10 payments are using, you will also need to complete the Number of School Pay Periods field, on this profile.
NOTE: The number of months of GLI deduction to be taken can be controlled by the employee's Seniority Date (employee Pay master screen).
