Calculating Basic Salary

You use SALARY BASIC in any case where the hours to be paid for a payee are standard from pay calendar to pay calendar. Use this earning element where hours do not tend to change for payees and the amount to be paid is consistent across pay periods, (the amount does not fluctuate based on the number of days in a pay period).

This earning element uses an Amount calculation rule where the amount is derived from a system element MONTHLY (which uses generation control CMN GC ACTIVE). SALARY BASIC uses the payee's monthly salary, which is stored as system element MONTHLY RT as the basis for payment. This amount is adjusted for other period frequencies.

The generation control CMN GC ACTIVE checks for active employees only.

Proration element CMN PO ANNL WRKDYS provides the proration logic based on percent of annual by work days using count CMN CT WORK DAYS (work days) as the numerator and formula CMN FM PRD WRKDAYS as the denominator. Formula CMN FM PRD WRKDAYS calculates the number of work days in the pay period by dividing variable SGP VR WRKDAYS/YR (260) by the system element PRD FREQ FACTOR.

SALARY BASIC contributes to the following accumulators:

• SGP GROSS.

• CPF ORD WAGES SEG.

• SALARY BASIC_CMTDA.

• SALARY BASIC_CYTDA.

• ESPP BASE AMOUNT.
