Machine Computation Tests

A separate department (MC) has been set up for these tests. The current Machine Computation release is noted in the Stub for the Department. The first period of the year is usually all that is needed. Others may be needed to test year-to-date situations. A basic employee is set up for each active province. The example number is the Employee Number. A basic Assignment is set up with a standard Rate Code (PP) and Distribution (TEST). All earnings and deductions are entered manually.

The generate of government deductions should agree with the examples in the Machine Computations manual.

Three additional employees are added to test the bonus calculation. The first employee has the base income. The second employee has the base income and both current and historical bonuses. The third employee has income equal to the base income plus the bonus.
