Select the working time percentage. Values are 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100. For each civil service position, three proration ratios are linked to each working time percentage.

Main Salary

Enter the numerator and denominator of the fraction that is applied to the main salary. The system uses 100 as the default denominator.

Secondary Salary

Enter the numerator and denominator of the fraction that is applied to the secondary salary, including bonus. The system uses 100 as the default denominator.

Allowances

Enter the numerator and denominator of the fraction. The system uses 100 as the default denominator. You can grant allowances under these conditions:

  • In addition to the main salary when the employee receives only part of the main salary, such as for an employee on a gradual retirement plan.

  • Instead of the main salary, such as for an employee on training leave.

Note: To select a proration ratio of zero, you must have already saved the row.
