What could cause the Basic Pay value to differ from the Employee Package?

This feature is available on all PaySpace editions

This will be the result of components specified as part of package.

An employee's Basic Pay will differ from their Package captured on the Pay Rate Details screen if there are components specified as part of package.

      Navigate > Employee > Payroll Processing > Pay Rate Details

      

      Navigate > Employee > Payroll Processing > Recurring Payroll Components > Allowances

      

Components can be identified as part of package on company and employee levels.

To achieve this, the "allow to be part of package" checkbox can be enabled on company level. All components marked as part of package will reduce the Basic Pay.

Navigate > Config > Payroll > Payroll Config > Payroll Components

The "enforce part of package rule:" checkbox under extra options can be enabled. If this field as well as, "allow to be part of package" checkbox is selected, the option to overwrite the part of package-indicator when processing a component on the Recurring Components Screen, will not be available.
      

      

A component can be edited and made part of package on employee level on the Recurring Payroll Components screen.
