Use this screen to define fringe modify codes. A union fringe is dollar amount paid to union members in lieu of benefits, such as health insurance, vacation, and retirement.
A fringe modify code is a designation you establish in order to change the base used to calculate the number of hours associated with a fringe. You can make this change by adding or subtracting any associated pay types found on the timesheet, as identified in this application.
In this screen, you define fringe modify codes and related descriptions. Next, you associate the fringe modify code with an existing pay type.
If, for instance, a pay type is assigned to a fringe modify code and you are subtracting this pay type, the hours and labor associated with the pay type will not be included when calculating the fringe.
When you process payroll, the information you define here is used in conjunction with data in the Fringe Table subtask of the Union Profiles screen to ensure proper calculation of the fringe.
