CURRENT SYSTEM SUMMARY

This chapter describes the existing system functions to establish a context for the proposed system.

2.1

Background

As of now on the online payslip we are showing Start and End Dates only for Premium & Overtime elements and that too for California state i.e. Jurisdiction code 05.

2.2

System Objectives and Current Functionality

With this current system we are trying to show up dates only for a single state and a couple of elements. This suits the requirements of Online payslip as of today as .. i. ii. We dont need to show up dates for any other state. Elements for which dates have to show up are limited.

2.3

Current Methods and Procedures

To achieve this we are decoding the jurisdiction code and element type to Decide on whether to show up dates on the payslip or not.

PROPOSED METHODS AND PROCEDURES System Objectives

In the proposed system we provide the user with a configurable way of displaying the dates on the online payslip. User can control the display of dates, one at the jurisdiction level and the other at the element type level .

3.2

Summary of Improvements

3.2.1 Functional Improvements

With the new approach we are providing a flexible way of configuring the display of dates. The functionality can be extended to other states just by adding the jurisdiction code of the desired state.

3.2.2 Improvements to Existing Capabilities

The existing system needs changes at the code level every time there is a need to extend this functionality to a new State or add new element type in to the display date list. With the new system this is completely configurable thus saving time and effort.

3.2.4 Implementation Details

This proposed functionality is achieved using the concept of User Tables facilitated by the product. .... In the Table structure the columns represent the jurisdiction code while the Rows represent the Element types that come up on the payslip. User needs to add the States (jurisdictions) in the column list and Element types in the Row list based on the requirement. In the next step configure Table Values where we have to do that separately for each state , for what all the element types we have to show up the dates and for what element types we dont need to . An element type left un-configured assumes a default N and for that dates dont show up on the slip.

SCREENSHOTS
This section basically explains how to configure the new functionality in our product. First section helps in understanding the default configuration that shows up at the user end. In the second section we see configuring the system for a sample requirement. However these steps remain common. i. Login into the Application ii. Switch to the desired responsibility. iii. Goto Other Definitions Click on either Table Structure or Table Values

4.1

Default Behavior

The table structure for the default behavior looks like

Overtime 05 California 33 New York Y --

Premium Y --

-- To be configured by the user. Let us understand how this is represented in the system.

2. Query in the Name field for ONLINE_PAYSLIP_DATE_CONTROL_TBL the new table structure created for handling dates.

3. Click on the Columns button to see the existing Jurisdictions defined. Here in this screen shot we see 05 California 33 New York

4. Click on the Rows button to see the existing element types defined. Here in this screen shot we see Overtime & Premium

5. Click on Other Definitions Table Values to see the how the rule is defined in combination of states and Elements. In the Table Values screen query for ONLINE_PAYSLIP_DATE_CONTROL_TBL in the Table field. a) By default the Name field in the column section shows 05 the first column defined. In the values section we see Y against both of the Overtime and Premium elements. This is to define that, IF Jurisdiction code =05 Then IF Element type= Overtime OR Element Type=Premium Show dates for this combination.

Note: The existing requirement for CA State (05) is that, dates need to be displayed online payslip for Elements of type Overtime & Premium.

b) Now Query for 33 in the Name fields in the Column section in the same screen (Table values). In the values section we see N against both of the Overtime and Premium elements. This is to define that , IF Jurisdiction code =33 Then IF Element type= Overtime OR Element Type=Premium Dont Show dates for this combination.

Note: The existing requirement for NY State (33) is that, dates need not be displayed online payslip for Elements of type Overtime & Premium.

Configuring the System

In this section we will try to understand on configuring the system for a sample requirement. a) Existing Configuration:

Overtime 05 California 33 New York Y --

Premium Y --

-- To be configured by the user. b) Lets assume that we need to configure a. For a new state - Green Shaded region in the below table Texas with jurisdiction code 35 Supplemental and Premium elements needs to show the dates. b. For existing state California jurisdiction code 05. Supplemental element needs to show the dates c. For Existing state Newyork --Blue Shaded region in the below table jurisdiction code 33 Configure that for Overtime , premium and Supplemental elements

Overtime 05 California 33 New York 35- Texas Y N N

Premium Y N Y

Supplemental Y N Y

Note: Instead of defining an element explicitly to N not configuring will asume a default N. Hence the blue shaded region (point c above) is achieved by default.

In the values section add records for the element types and configure accordingly i.e Y- if dates have to be shown / N Dates need not be shown o Add record for Supplemental in the Exact field Define value Y in the corresponding value field.
