Mail merge fields for additions and deductions

This article explains how the mail merge fields for additions and deductions work.

To pull through information about an employee's additions or deductions, you can use the merge fields below when creating your mail merge templates.

  • [Additions1_ValueString] - The cash value of the addition. In some cases, the value per year, if this is how the payment is set to be paid.

  • [Additions1_AdditionDeductionDescription] - The name of the pay element used and the payscale, if applicable. For example: TLR A (Payscale 3)

  • [Additions1_AdditionDeductionType] - For additions, this will pull through 'Addition'.

  • [Additions1_Date] - The start date of the payment as seen on the employee's profile.

  • [Additions1_AdditionDeductionBasis] - Cash or Hours, depending on the pay element.

Same options above can be applied for deductions as well:

  • [Deductions1_ValueString]

  • [Deductions1_AdditionDeductionDescription]

  • [Deductions1_AdditionDeductionType]

  • [Deductions1_Date]

  • [Deductions1_AdditionDeductionBasis]

When an employee has several additions, you can pull through their data in order:

  • [Additions1_ValueString] - The value of the first addition on their profile.

  • [Additions2_ValueString] - The value of the second addition on their profile.

  • [Additions3_ValueString] - The value of the third addition on their profile.

⚠️ Important: It is very important to keep in mind that since employees will have additions in a different order, the same merge field may pull through a TLR for one employee and a SEN Allowance for another.

Example

For the employee above, this is how the merge fields will pull through data:

  • [Additions1_ValueString] will pull through Β£7,965.70

  • [Additions2_ValueString] will pull through Β£342.34
