Keywords
This is the Payroll Keyword Function.  Payroll keywords are used by user defined formulas.  User defined formulas are used to define benefits or deductions. The formula can use a combination of keywords, function keywords (next frame) and logical operators (if, then, else, minimum, etc) to accomplish a task. For example we could define a deduction as being a function of a percentage of gross pay less overtime.
When you use a payroll keyword in a formula, the value in the file and field specified for this keyword is used as part of the formula.  Keywords are the ‘building blocks’ of a formula.
