Value by Criteria Rate Components in a Salary Basis

Use Value by Criteria rate definitions in a salary basis to get a value from an Oracle Fusion Cloud Global Payroll value by criteria definition.

You decide the criteria to enter and the resulting tree structure. In each branch of the tree, you can have multiple evaluation conditions and the value to return. You can also define a default value, for criteria that doesn't meet the conditions, or to define minimum and maximum thresholds.

For example, you can calculate allowance for workers based on their job.

  • If the worker is a Consultant, pay them 45,000 USD.
  • If the worker is a Senior Consultant, pay them 55,000 USD.
  • If the worker is a Principal Consultant, pay them 65,000 USD.
  • Otherwise, pay them 35,000 USD

Or you create a value by criteria definition that returns a flat amount based on the worker's location. You use that definition in a Value by Criteria rate, and include that rate as a contributor to a derived rate definition.

You create rate definitions using the Rate Definitions task on the My Client Groups > Compensation page. Be sure to link a rate definition to only one salary basis to avoid issues when moving a worker to another basis.
