Payroll calculation frequencies (form) 6.2 CU7 and prior
Applies To: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2
Click Payroll > Setup > Payroll calculation frequencies.
Certain earnings, contributions, and deductions should be processed in specified pay periods. For example, the worker deduction for medical insurance might be processed in the first pay period of every month, and the employer contribution might be processed in the first pay period of every quarter. A car allowance might be processed in the last pay period of the month. Payroll calculation frequencies let you control which pay periods these payroll elements are processed in.
Precaución
The payroll calculation frequency and the pay cycle frequency are not the same thing. The pay cycle frequency determines how often a pay cycle is run. Pay periods and pay dates are defined as part of the pay cycle. The payroll calculation frequency lets you select the specific pay periods when you want certain earnings, contributions, or deductions to be processed. For more information about pay cycle frequencies, see Pay cycles and pay periods (form) 6.2 CU7 and prior.
By default, all earnings, contributions, and deductions are processed in every pay period. This form lets you create additional payroll calculation frequencies. Each payroll calculation frequency includes the pay periods that you select. The frequencies can then be assigned to payroll elements, such as a retirement benefit. This lets you control the exact pay periods when that benefit is processed. If you want all your payroll elements to be processed in every pay period, you do not have to create additional payroll calculation frequencies.
