Defining Flex Salary Parameters

This procedure defines the parameters the application uses to calculate an employee's salary. If you specified a value in the Base Percent of Salary field in the Flex Credits form, then complete this form.

Before you define the salary tables, define the basic flex credit information.

See Defining flex credits.

  1. Click the Salary button, on Flex Credits (BN08.1), to open Flex Salary Parameters (BN08.2).
    Note: If you specify a value in the Base Percent of Salary field on Flex Credits (BN08.1), a window automatically opens, with this form, when you add the Flex Credit record.
  2. Select the salary type you use for the flex credit calculation in the Type field. This table explains the different salary options.
    Note: If you select a salary field other than the Employe Salary, for example, BN Salary 1, go to Data Item Attributes (HR10.1) and ensure that field is logged to history.
    Select To use
    Employee Salary The employee's annualized rate of pay from Employee (HR11.1) or, if applicable, the employee's step and grade schedule.
    Total Employee Salary The employee's total salary from all positions.
    Benefit Salary The benefit salaries from the Benefit tab of HR11.1.
    Emp and Ben Sal The employee's annualized rate of pay from HR11.1 plus a benefit salary. You use this option if only some of your employees in this plan must have a benefit salary amount maintained, such as employees paid on commission.
    Total Emp and Sal The employee's total salary from all positions plus a benefit salary.
  3. In the Date field, select the date you use to determine employee salaries. This table shows the date options.
    Select To determine an employee's salary
    Current On the system date flex credits are calculated.
    First of Month On the first of the month flex credits are calculated.
    As of Date On a particular month and day. The application uses the month and day that you specify in the AS of MMDD field.
    1. Specify this information:
      As of MMDD and Year

      Specify the date you use to determine an employee's salary for coverage calculations.

      • If you selected A - As of Date in the Date field, type the month and day.
      • If you leave the Year field blank when you use the As of Date, the application calculates an employee's salary on the latest month and day specified.
      • If you specify a Year, the employee's salary is determined on the exact month, day, and year you specify.
      • If an employee does not have a salary history for the date specified, the application uses the current salary.
      Minimum and Maximum

      Specify the minimum and maximum salary amounts for calculating flex credits. If an employee's salary is less or greater than these amounts, the application uses these amounts to calculate flex credits for the employee.

      Method

      This is a required field. If you do not use any rounding methods, such as rounding numbers up and down, select N - No Rounding.

  4. Click OK > Add.
