Les termes «arrérages» et «arriéré» appartiennent à deux domaines différents. «Arrérages» s'applique à un revenu et ne comporte pas d'idée de retard : «Toucher les arrérages d'une pension», tandis que «arriéré» implique un retard dans le paiement : «Toucher l'arriéré d'une pension», c'est-à-dire ce qui était dû et qui n'a pas encore été payé. 4, record 1, French, - arri%C3%A9r%C3%A9

C'est à tort qu'on utilise l'expression «Code de fréquence de paye» pour désigner l'«Indicateur courant/arriérés», et l'expression «Code de cycle de paye» pour désigner le «Code de fréquence de paye». 1, record 2, French, - Indicateur%20courant%2Farri%C3%A9r%C3%A9s
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 DEF
L'Indicateur courant/arriérés indique si la paye est versée avec ou sans arrérage (A=arrérage et C=courant ). Il est l'un des deux constituants du Code de fréquence de paye. L'autre constituant est le Code du cycle de paye (qui indique la fréquence à laquelle la paye est versée à l'employé [7=aux deux semaines; 6=aux mois; 3=aux semaines], c'est-à-dire la durée de la période de paye). Le Code de fréquence de paye indique donc la fréquence à laquelle la paye est versée à l'employé et permet de savoir si la paye est versée à l'employé avec ou sans arrérage. Exemples : Fréquence de paye 7A, 7C, 6A et 6C. 1, record 2, French, - Indicateur%20courant%2Farri%C3%A9r%C3%A9s
