Setting up Calculation Method

This section gives users the ability to select a method to use when multiple compensation rates are found for an event. For example, if a shift, weekend, and/or holiday occurs on the same day, only one option in this section may be selected (ranking the compensation or the Multiple Compensation Formula).

 

Apply Only The Highest Ranking Compensation Found

To set priority for how to calculate compensation: 

1.    Click the Calculation Method bar to expand the section.

2.    Click the radio button next to Apply only the highest ranking compensation found to select it.

3.    Click an item in the list to highlight it.

4.    Click    to move the item up or down to arrange the items in order of priority. The item that is at the top of the list will be the first paid item in priority (For example, if you order the items Shift then Weekend then Holiday, the agency will make Shift payments first then not pay anything for Weekend or Holiday).

5.    Click Save.

6.    Continue with Setting Up Mileage.

 

Apply All Compensation Found

A Multiple Compensation Formula can be used to include Holiday and Shift pay. The Multiple Compensation Formula only applies to percentage type rates. If multiple compensation rates of different rate types are found, the dollar rate will be added after the percentage rate has been factored with the base rate.
