Employee parameter values are the actual values assigned to parameters for an employee as of a designated effective date. Parameter values can include such things as employee salary, base rate, or 401(k) percentage. Although parameters are declared on segment items, parameter values can be assigned on the segment item or on the employee record or on both. If a parameter value is assigned in both places, the value from the employee record takes precedence.

The parameter values for an employee are typically maintained on the employee record in the Values table on the Calculations tab. The value you are editing in the table depends on the parameter selected in the Parameters table.

Because parameter values are date-driven, you can add parameter values in advance and they won't take effect until the effective date you specify. Only the value that is currently in effect is used in check calculations.

To view parameter values for all employees, highlight the Payroll/Human Resources > Employees > Parameter Values folder and view them in the HD view.

Note

If the employee record or the segment item where the parameter is declared is flagged as obsolete, the employee parameter value is also flagged as obsolete.
