DBA Calculation

The system can use different methods to calculate DBAs. These methods include:

  • Flat monetary amounts.

  • Percentages of gross pay.

  • Calculation tables with criteria that vary from employee to employee.

You can override at the employee level DBAs that are calculated based on flat monetary amounts and percentages.

Note: You can also override at the employee level a DBA that is based on a calculation table, although this action is not recommended. A DBA that is based on a calculation table has a table-method code attached to the DBA. This code tells the system how to calculate the DBA. The system does not recognize another method to calculate a DBA when a table-method code is attached to the DBA.
