2641834 - Suppressed Statements - Compensation and Variable Pay

Symptom

Administrators can add a custom column to a Compensation or Variable Pay template to control whether a statement is generated for an employee. In many cases, reward statements are not needed, for example, when employees do not receive a pay increase or bonus payout. With this enhancement, administrators can define the conditions under which statements are not generated.

Resolution

Prerequisites

To use this feature a custom column on the worksheet needs to be defined with a value of "TRUE" or "FALSE".

For example: if(merit=0,"FALSE","TRUE")

You can define from the templates setting screen (Plan Setup> Settings> Statement Generation Settings) which custom field you would like to use for suppressing statements.

This custom field being used MUST be of STRING value. Enabling the reportable option isn't mandatory, however is a best practice in case future troubleshooting is necessary.

  • FALSE Outcome of this column means NO statement will be generated for users
  • TRUE Outcome of this column means statements WILL be generated for users

NOTE

  • When generating statements for users you will get a log file to confirm who has not had statements generated for them.
  • The following is an example of a log file where one statement was generated and the second was suppressed.

  • Also note this log file will NOT generate should you create statements using the "By employee name".
