Introduction

New York Notice of Pay Rate - WTPA form, unlike other country compliance forms, presents a unique challenge as it lacks standard or pre-defined mapping. To ensure smooth implementation, let's explore the essential setup steps required before utilising this form.

Setting up Global Filter override configuration

New York has multiple WTPA forms depending on the type of wage earned by a new hire.

However, for a given time and candidate, only one WTPA form will be assigned.

The initial step involves identifying the decisive field that determines this value or establishing business rules to determine the type of form to be assigned.

Introducing the new Global filter field, "filterkey1", designed specifically for managing WTPA form assignment for New hires.

Note: Along with the 'filterkey1' field, there are two key global filter fields that play a crucial role in determining the assignment of the WTPA form:

  1. workcountry should be 'USA'. If no override is specified, this value defaults to the legal entity country in the Job Information entity.

  2. workstate must be 'NY'. If no override is set, it defaults to the state from the Job location address.

Additionally, the specifics of how 'filterkey1' influences the form assignment are detailed later in this article.

Example: For the New York LS54 form to be assigned, the following conditions must be met:

  • workcountry = USA
  • workstate = NY
  • filterkey1 = LS54.

Here we will outline the definition of a global filter field 'filterkey1' in two distinct scenarios.

Scenario 1: Direct field which can holds WTPA form name

Step 1 : Identify a field from existing HRIS element, which can holds WTPA Form name.

Navigate to “Manage Business Configuration” page, expand the required entity and make sure the identified field is enabled and editable.

Step 2: Provide view and edit permission 

Navigate to "Manage Permission Roles" page and 'Edit' the right user role for admin user - who carries out NHDR step.

In Edit page, go to User Permissions -> Employee Central Effective Dated Entities, make sure atleast View and Edit permissions are provided for field which is considered in step 1.

Step 3:  Global filter override fieldMetadata path definition

Refer section "Configuring Wage Theft Protection Act (WTPA) Forms" from Onboarding help portal (link) for details on field metadata Override definition. 

Field Metadata Override should be defined for ID “filterkey1” (case sensitive) and the overriding field should hold WTPA form name.

Considered values for Overriding fields – LS51, LS54, LS55, LS56, LS57 & LS59.

Step 4: Data Maintenance during New Hire Data Review (NHDR) step

In below example overriding field is a Dropdown, in your scenario you can have a string field and directly maintain the above mentioned considered values.

For eg: if customString3 = LS51, then WTPA LS51 form will be assigned to candidate,

Else if customString3 = LS59, then WTPA LS59 form will be assigned to candidate.

Scenario 2: No direct field which can hold WTPA form name

When there isn't a direct field that contain WTPA form names, the same must be derived from existing standard fields. This can be accomplished through the definition of business rules.

Step 1: Business Rule definition

Navigate to 'Configure Business Rule' and create a new rule tailored to your scenario and relevant category.

Here is an example of defining a Business Rule to derive the WTPA Form name. In this case, the WTPA form names are determined based on the values of the Employment Type field and then stored in one of the reserved or custom fields in the Job Info entity.

Above Business rule works as below,

If field 'Employment Type US' = U1, then 'WTPA NY Form Filter' (customString1) field = LS51

Else if 'Employment Type US' = U5, then 'WTPA NY Form Filter' (customString1) field  = LS54

Else if 'FLSA Status' = Exempt, then 'WTPA NY Form Filter' (customString1) field  = LS59

Step 2:  Addition of Business rule to HRIS element:

Navigate to the "Manage Business Configuration" page and include the newly defined business rule in the "Trigger Rules" section. In the example below, the business rule will be triggered "On Save," meaning it will trigger when Job Information entity is saved.

Step 3: Provide view and edit permission

Refer to step 2 outlined in scenario 1 above.

Step 4:  Global filter override fieldMetadata path definition

Refer to step 3 outlined in scenario 1 above. The override path for this scenario will be 'customString1'.

This field will hold New York WTPA Form names based on Business Rule processing.

For eg: if Employment Type US = U1, then customString1 = LS51, based on which WTPA LS51 form will be assigned to candidate,

Else if Employment Type US = U5, then customString1 = LS54, based on which WTPA LS54 form will be assigned to candidate.

Else if FLSA_STATUS = Exempt, then customString1 = LS59, based on which WTPA LS59 form will be assigned to candidate.

Step 5: Data Maintenance during New Hire Data Review (NHDR) step

For Business Rule defined in step 1 to work, it's essential to maintain data for the "Employment Type US" field. The Business Rule will trigger upon submission of the data and save the calculated or derived value in the "WTPA NY Form Filter" field.

Below screenshot is taken post saving data.

Conclusion

The example scenarios provided above serve as reference points and can be utilized to define mappings for your own fields. The business rule logic and custom fields may vary in your implementation.

Once you have completed the steps outlined above, the Global filter will be fully configured, and the WTPA form will be assigned to candidates based on the type of wage they are earning.

Note: In addition to the steps outlined above, it is necessary to configure Overrides for WTPA Form fields. For more information, please refer to the following link 'WTPA Form Fields Configuration'.

Excellent summary

@SunithaR - This was very helpful for me, thank you!

Do you know where to find the details about the form names?  Like what does LS59, LS54, etc. mean?

Also, do you know where to find the expected values for the Employment Type US picklist field?

The documentation only mentions New York forms but my client wants the California WTPA forms also.  Are those one of the form options?

Thank you!

Kristen

@KristenCannard  Thanks for your time in reviewing this topic.

Details of form name can be found in offical legal website 'New York Notice of Pay' page - https://dol.ny.gov/notice-pay-rate 

(which can also found in next Blog article "WTPA Form Fields Configuration" )

Regarding expected values for the Employment Type, above mentioned example is just for reference, in real case you can link WTPA form name to any derived field or direct field.

Anyways 'employmentType' used in above example is from JobInfo entity which is a picklist field and can have entries purely based on Organisation structure.

California WTPA forms are planned for 2411 release, you can refer the delivery timelines for same. Post release cycle documentation of same would be updated.
