Explanation

The system will prorate the payroll results for October by calculating the pension amount for each segment based on the number of working days or actual days in that segment. In Segment 1, the pension amount is calculated by dividing the monthly amount by 21.75 (the number of working days in the month) and then multiplying it by 18 (the number of working days in Segment 1). In Segment 2, the pension amount is calculated by subtracting the number of days under the prior segment from 21.75 and then multiplying it by the monthly amount divided by 21.75.

10. The Dependency Allowance is not showing in the Payroll Results? Please can you tick the places where we need to check?

Explanation

To determine why the Dependency Allowance is not showing in the Payroll Results, we need to check several factors. First, we should review SM's contract administration data to ensure that the necessary information is correctly entered. Additionally, we should verify the dependent's dependent/beneficiary type, date of birth, and marital status to confirm that they meet the eligibility criteria. It is also important to check the effective dates of the dependent's dependency/benefit data to ensure they are correctly entered. Finally, we need to ensure that the Allowance eligibility checkbox is ticked and an effective date is entered. By reviewing these factors, we can identify any potential issues causing the Dependency Allowance to not appear in the Payroll Results.
