Viewing Worker Salary Structure Information

This section discusses how to:

  • View compa-ratios.

  • View range calculations.

Use the compa-ratio calculation to see where workers' salaries lie in relation to the midpoint range for their salary grades. The ratio appears in the Job Data - Compensation page for each worker.

The system calculates the ratio by comparing the worker salary to the midpoint amount of the salary grade. If the worker's current rate is the same as the midpoint, then the compa-ratio is 1.00, or 100 percent, of the midpoint. If the rate is above or below the midpoint, the system calculates a ratio for the difference between the salary and the midpoint, and then it adds or subtracts the difference from 1.00.

Use the percent-in-range calculation to see where workers' salaries fall within the range that is set up for their salary grades. Both this calculation and the compa-ratio appear in the Pay Rate Change - Compensation page for each worker. The range percent indicates where the worker's salary falls within the worker's salary grade range. The system calculates the range percent as follows:

This image illustrates the formula used by the system to calculate range percentage if the worker falls below the minimum range.

Range percent formula if the worker falls below the minimum range

If the worker falls above the maximum range, then the system uses this formula:

If the worker falls in the range, then the system uses this formula:
