Base Pay Setup

In calculating base pay, Global Payroll for Japan uses the employee's compensation package that you define by using compensation rate codes in PeopleSoft HR. The base pay rate formula (ER FM BASE RATE) gathers the employee's base pay rate codes, converts them to the frequency of the employee's pay type, and sums them to determine the value of the base pay rate variable (ER VR BASE RATE).

Base pay is calculated differently depending on the employee's pay type. If the employee's pay type is daily or hourly, the system also uses time data when calculating base pay. Enter time data each month on Global Payroll Positive Input pages.
