Calculations

Calculations are used to define additional parameters for accrual computations and can be used to define a custom calculation. Calculations can be used by formulas or directly on tables.

Calculations can include the following:

  • Factors

    • Standard hours per pay period

    • FTE per position

    • Total FTE

    • FTE time the annual hours for a position

    • Total FTE times the annual hours

  • Service class

  • Amount

  • User numeric field

  • Custom Calculation

Example

William Hartman, a full-time employee at a university, teaches calculus, chemistry, and also coaches rugby. He has FTEs based on his position and both his positions. His education courses are both .40 FTE and his coaching position has an FTE of .20 for an total of 1.0 FTE.

All employees at the university earn paid time off based on their position and full time equivalency. Since this is the case, he is granted 4.66 hours per bi-weekly pay period, based on his tenure. The breakdown is as follows:

Position FTE PTO Rate Total
Calculus .40 4.66 1.864
Chemistry .40 4.66 1.864
Rugby Coach .20 4.66 0.932
Total 1.0 4.66
