The Pay in Lieu of Benefits Cost Post process provides a means to calculate how much pay is due an employee. This post only applies to:
Calculation is performed for each SCA project that a person worked on in a given time period. The post process uses the Benefit Amount Per Period specified on the user profile for the date range being calculated. If that value is not provided, the benefit value will be counted as $0.00 See People Profile >> People Benefits Value for more information.
Depending on the Post to General Ledger (unanet.financials.post_to_gl) and Post to General Ledger Effective Date (unanet.financials.post_to_gl.eff_date) properties, the transactions can also optionally be posted to the General Ledger.
Note that the journal records will capture the project associated with the work but posts to the General Ledger will not. Thus we are not creating billable transactions.
This screen is available to users having any of the following roles: Administrator, P&R Administrator or GL Admin.

The minimum required amount for benefits is specified in the Wage Determination Profile Health and Welfare Benefits Rate field. The value of the benefits package comes from the Person Profile >> Benefits Value page.
Pay in Lieu of Benefits is calculated as follows:
Pay in Lieu of Benefits Rate = Health and Welfare Benefit rate from Wage Determination Profile - Benefits Amount per Pay Period from Person Profile >> Benefits Value / Number of SCA Hours Worked in Pay Period
If the Pay in Lieu of Benefits rate is greater than zero:
If the Wage Determination is odd-numbered (i.e., Wage Determination identifier is 2005-2019), then Pay in Lieu of Benefits Amount = (Pay in Lieu of Benefits rate) * (Hours worked for the project in the specified time up to the maximum number of hours noted on the Wage Determination)
If the Wage Determination is even-numbered (i.e., Wage Determination identifier is 2005-2022), then Pay in Lieu of Benefits Amount = (Pay in Lieu of Benefits rate) * (all Hours worked for the project in the specified time)
The process will post transactions into the General Ledger (GL) if posting to GL is enabled (Post to General Ledger (unanet.financials.post_to_gl) and the post date is on or after the post to GL effective date (Post to General Ledger Effective Date (unanet.financials.post_to_gl.eff_date)). This posting process uses Pay in Lieu of Benefits Cost and Pay in Lieu of Benefits Cost Offset accounts for posting (see Setup Posting Groups).
If the time period from Include Actuals In selection criteria spans multiple fiscal periods, the administrator can choose one of these options:
post all transactions for the time period into the Fiscal Period from selection criteria that contains the last day of the time period
split the transactions into two parts: days in time period that fit into earlier Fiscal Period from selection criteria, and days in time period that fit into the later fiscal period
