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
