Earnings Codes

Cornell's payroll system uses "earnings codes" to identify the type of earning an employee is paid. Each earnings code consists of compensation attributes dictating how the earnings will handle overtime, inconvenience pay, leave accrual, benefits, and taxes. Earnings codes may be generated during the following processes: 

  • Time collection
  • Payroll input
  • On-demand checks

Note: The employee's timecard and pay stub contains a breakdown of all earnings codes used and the associated earnings.
