For example, for an employee hired on February 28, the employee receives payment for:

  • One day if the Calendar Days option is selected.

  • Three days if the 30 days Monthly Basis option is selected.

13th Salary Parameters

Field or Control

Description

Calc Average First Installment (calculate averages on first installment)

Select to have the system base an employee's 13th salary (first partiality) on his or her average salary calculation rather than on the monthly salary.

Recalc First Installment (recalculate first installment)

Select to indicate the system should recalculate the first installment of the 13th salary. Since the 13th salary payment is run in November, salary changes may occur that could cause some employees to receive an extra first installment of the 13th salary. The system needs to recalculate 13th salary to make sure that employees receive any extra payments they are due.

Termination and Stability Parm (termination and stability parameters)

Field or Control

Description

Salary Base Rate

Use this section to select additional earnings to be considered base salaries, if applicable. Available base salary types include Vacations, 13th Salary, and Overtime.

For example, you may select from a number of bonuses to be considered for base vacation rate. The base salary to pay vacations is either monthly salary or trainee monthly salary, which means that if you don't select in the payee parameters any of the bonuses selected in this section, the vacation is paid using the monthly salary or the trainee monthly salary method depending on the employee class.

The rules read these values and store them in new variables during the resolution of the Union Parameters array. The FER REMUN MEN accumulator uses these new variables in that way that each member of the accumulator contributes 100% or 0% according to the value read in the Union Parameters array.
