Conversion of Compensation Rates to Different Frequencies

The system converts compensation rates to daily, monthly, and other frequencies using standard formulas. The formula for converting to or from an hourly rate takes the standard hours and standard work period into account.

The system performs compensation rate conversions as follows:

  1. Finds or calculates the annual rate for compensation.

  2. Divides the annual rate using de-annualization conversion calculations to calculate the rate at the desired frequency.

  3. Multiplies the converted compensation rate by the FTE factor if Apply FTE is selected for the pay component.

Note:

(FRA) For workers in French regulatory regions, the system uses the PAID_FTE field to multiply the converted compensation rate.

Annualized Rate Calculations

The system uses the following formulas to convert compensation rates to an annual frequency:

Original Frequency Formula for Conversion to Annual Frequency

Hourly

Annual Rate = Comprate × Job Standard Hours × Frequency Annualization Factor of Standard Work Period

Monthly, daily, and other

Annual Rate = Comprate × Frequency Annualization Factor

De-Annualized Rate Calculations

The system uses the following formulas to convert compensation rates from an annual frequency to another frequency:

Non-Annual Frequency Formula for Conversion from Annual Frequency

Hourly

Hourly Rate = Comprate / (Job Standard Hours × Frequency Annualization Factor of Standard Work Period)

Monthly, daily, and other

Non-Annual Rate = Annual Comprate / Frequency Annualization Factor

The following examples illustrate the use of these formulas.

Example of Hourly to Monthly Compensation Rate Conversion

Teresa Johnson has the following job data information:

Employment Variables Values

Comprate (hourly)

10

Job Standard Hours

35

Frequency Annualization Factor of Standard Work Period

52

Frequency Annualization Factor of Month

12

The following table shows how the system calculates Teresa Johnson's monthly FTE (full-time equivalency) compensation rate. The total represents Teresa's monthly salary based on a thirty-five hour workweek over a fifty-two week year.

Rate Equation

Annual

10 × 35 × 52 = 18,200

Monthly

Annualized Comprate / Frequency Annualization Factor of Month

18,200 / 12 = 1516.67

Example of Monthly to Biweekly Compensation Rate Conversion

Bill McKenny has the following job data information:

Employment Variables Value

Comprate (monthly)

2000

Frequency Annualization Factor of Monthly

12

Frequency Annualization Factor of Biweekly

26

Apply FTE Selected

Yes

FTE Factor

0.95

The following table shows how the system calculates Bill McKenny's biweekly compensation rate:

Rate Equation

Annual

Comprate × Frequency Annualization Factor of Month

2000 × 12 = 24,000

De-annualize

Annualized Comprate / Frequency Annualization Factor of Biweekly

24,000 / 26 = 923.08

Multiply by FTE

923.08 × 0.95 = 876.85
