Workers Compensation Info - PBSTWK

The PB Workers Compensation Information (PBSTWK) page contains workers compensation codes, salary percentages, object codes, and position types.  When the import program populates the model with data, the PYWC common codes are read to determine how to populate the PB Workers Compensation fields.

Depending upon the PYWC setup, some of the workers compensation fields may not be populated. If the object code is not identified in the common code, then it will be set to WKCMPOBJ as a default. If the object code for any of the work comp codes is left as WKCMPOBJ, then any pay assignment having that work comp code will not have anything calculated for workers compensation.  The user will need to enter the appropriate object codes if workers comp is to be calculated and budgeted.

Workers compensation amounts are calculated by matching the value in the Work Comp field from the PB pay assign­ment (PBUPEM, Pay Assignments tab) with the appropriate code from the PBSTWK page to determine the work comp salary percentage.  This percentage is then applied to the annual amount calculated for the pay assignment.  If the salary percentage is supposed to be 5%, then the value on PB record type needs to be 5.00000, not 0.05000.  If 0.05000 is in the common code, then it will need to be changed on PB workers comp to equal 5.00000.

Model: Enter a model name. The model name uniquely identifies records that belong to a model. Model IDs are defined on the Position Budgeting (PB) Setup (PBSTRQ) page.
Ledger: Select the general ledger code to associate with the model.
Workers Compensation Code: Select the code to associate with the definition. Workers Compensation codes are defined NU Common Codes Category/Value of PYWC/where the code value is the code that would display in the drop-down list.
Salary Percentage: Enter the salary percentage associated with the code. The percentage will populate from the workers comp (PYWC) common code, if entered there. If this field is blank, it will need to be entered. Enter the rate as a whole number (e.g. 5% would be entered as 5.00000, not 0.05000).
Object Code: The object code will populate from the PYWC common code, if entered there.  If it is not specified in the common code, then the import program will insert a default entry of WKCMPOBJ.  For any records with a value of WKCMPOBJ, a valid entry will need to be selected from the drop-down list (validates to the GL Object Definition (GLUPOB) page).  The object code will be used as the expense object code for the displayed workers comp code when calculating the model.  Workers comp will not be calculated for WKCMPOBJ entries. 
Position Type: If different posting strategies are to be used based on position type for the same workers comp code, then this field must contain the appropriate position type (must be CL, CE, or CY).  Code values are defined in the HR Non-Entity Specific Codes (HRTBHR) page under the Code ID of POS/JOB_TYPE. If the posting does not vary based on position type, this field may be left blank.
