Calculating Basic Hourly Earnings

Basic hourly earning (BASHLY) is the monthly income for hourly employees. It is paid once per pay period to the entire hourly pay group. The system uses the hourly rate to calculate monthly income for hourly employees.

The calculation rule is Unit × Rate:

• Unit is the number of hours worked.

• Rate is the system variable HOURLY RT.

Hourly rate is calculated from the compensation rate of the employee. The number of hours is entered at the positive input level. When a pay rate change occurs during the pay period, the system variable returns the correct hourly rate.
