Article summary

The Tiers on Employee Attribute – Value in % Wages compensation basis can be used to build an employee benefit plan tier structure and specify the compensation value as a % of Wages.



Here are the different options available once you select the Value in % Wages compensation basis:

The following are the options available under the Compensation Payment option:


RecurringThis option is used when employees will receive compensation money regularly. The following are different options available:
  • Every Month: Select this option if employees will receive compensation money on a monthly basis. 
  • Based on Hire Month: Select this option if employees will receive compensation based on the month they are hired. For example, this can be used when employees are not eligible for certain benefits until they've been employed for 6 months. 
  • Based on Position Start Month: Select this option when employees will receive compensation based on the month they started working.

One Time

  • Based on Hire Month: Select this if employees will receive compensation based on the month they are hired. For example, a one-time sign-on bonus.
  • Based on Position Start Month:  Select this if employees will receive a one-time compensation based on the month they start on the job.
  • Based on Position End Month: Select this if employees will receive a one-time compensation based on the month they end the job. For example, perhaps there is a paid time off accrual that is paid out on the ending month for that position.
