What are role rule categories?

Role Rule categories are based on the number of posts an employee has and the number of contribution records attached to the posts. The Role Rules allow Cintra iQ to validate the Role Ids on the Employee in Post records within the Employee Role Id tab.

Examples of role rules

Rule 1

An employee has a single annual salary (ie £35,000). The salary is made up of Biology teacher for £35,000 with no additional responsibility.

This can be represented in Cintra iQ as a single employee in post record, with one payment under that post. There is a single Role Id of C1/R1.

Rule 2

An employee has a single annual salary (ie £40,000). The salary is made up of Biology teacher for £35,000 and £5000 for additional responsibility.

This can be represented in Cintra iQ as a single employee in post record, with two separate payments under that post (and often is). There is a single Role Id of C1/R1.

This can also be represented in Cintra iQ as two separate employee in post records, with a payment under each post (and sometimes is). We must still report the annual salary as £40,000, and one Role Id of C1/R1.

The £5000 additional responsibility cannot be reported on its own line, because an annual full time salary of £5000 is not valid on its own.

Rule 3

An employee has one role with two different contracts of annual salaries eg £35,000 and £40,000 respectively. These two salaries must be reported separately. (They can’t be summed, because clearly the annual salary is not £75,000). However, the employer has decided it is a Type 1 arrangement, and all earnings assessed for each contribution is reported separately eg employee does 0.5 of the £35,000 job and earns £1458 in a month, and 0.5 of £40,000 and earns £1667 in a month and will pay (looking up 1458 x 12 in the teachers contribution rates and £1667 x12), 9.6% on £3125.

This can be represented in Cintra iQ as two separate post records, with a payment under each post. We must still report the annual salary as £35,000 and £40,000 separately, with each contribution added to each post record. There are multiple Role Ids of C1/R1 and C2/R1.

Rule 4

An employee actually has two roles with two different annual salaries eg £35,000 and £40,000. These two salaries must be reported separately (they can’t be summed, because clearly the annual salary is not £75,000). However, the employer has decided it is a Type 2 arrangement, and all earnings assessed for one overall contribution eg employee does 0.5 of the £35,000 job and earns £1458 in a month, and 0.5 of £40,000 and earns £1667 in a month. In total, employee earnings £3125 and will pay (looking up 3125 x 12 in the teachers contribution rates), 9.6% on £3125.

This can be represented in Cintra iQ as two separate post records, with a payment under each post (and sometimes is). We must still report the annual salary as £35,000 and £40,000 separately, with the total contribution of the two amounts added to the second post record. There are multiple Role Ids of C1/R1 and C1/R2.
