Base Rate Attribute for Salary Basis Rate Components

Select the Base Rate rate component attribute if other rates in the salary basis base their calculations on this rate.

For example, your day shift and night shift workers have different base pay rates. You provide each set of workers different allowances, which are a percentage of the base rate.

1. You create two salary bases, one for night shift and one for day shift, and add the appropriate base rates to each salary basis.
2. You add the same allowance rate to each salary basis. The allowance rate will use the base rate in it's salary basis to calculate the allowance amount.

You can add a base rate contributor without needing to explicitly identify the contributing rate. This flexibility lets you define multiple base rates for different worker groups and a subset of other rates that use the base rate in their calculations.
