Article summary

The Fixed Amount Based on Employee Attribute compensation basis is typically used for fixed dollar compensation payment based on the employee attribute.


Here are the different options available once you select the Fixed Amount compensation basis:

Calculation BasisThe following are the options under Calculation Basis:
  • Position Start: For example, take an employee who started on June 3rd, 2014. That employee is counted as .93 versus 1 as the employee did not work the first couple of days in the month/period.
  • Active End of the Period: The option checks whether the employee worked on the last day of the period. If so, the Compensation View report will display the employee as an active employee or full headcount. If not, say the employee only worked for the first 15 days of the month, that employee will not be recorded for that month. So, if the employee started on June 3rd and was counted as 1 for the month of June. Then, the employee left the organization halfway through the month of September and therefore was not counted at all for that period. This means that even partial period days worked are not counted.
  • Active Beginning of the Period: If an employee starts on the first day of the period, then that employee is an active employee or full headcount. If an employee starts on the 15th of the month or any day after the 1st day of the month or period, the employee is not counted at all. This means that even partial period days worked are not counted.
  • None: Only physical headcount is recorded for each period. So, if an employee only works for 15 days out of the month, the employee is still considered a full headcount irrespective of the days actually worked.
