Recording Base Pay Compensation for an Employee

Base pay compensation includes an employee’s regular salary or wage earnings.

Important:

If base pay information is integrated with SuitePeople U.S. Payroll, before you make updates to base pay fields, make sure that you have permission to edit the fields in the Payroll > Earnings subtab on the employee record. If you do not have permission to edit the fields in the Payroll > Earnings subtab, changes that you make to the Compensation Tracking fields are not copied to Payroll. This could result in incorrect payments to employees.

To track an employee’s base pay compensation:

  1. Go to Lists > Employees > Employees.

  2. Beside an employee, click Edit.

  3. Click the Compensation Tracking subtab.

  4. Enter the employee’s base pay information. You must enter values into all base pay fields:

    • From the Base Wage Type list, select the base wage type. Selections include annual salary, hourly, and monthly salary.

      Note:

      If base pay information is integrated with SuitePeople U.S. Payroll, and if the employee is included in payroll, the value in the Base Wage Type list is copied to the Compensation Type field on the Payroll subtab. This value cannot be edited.

    • From the Compensation Currency list, select the currency to use.

      Note:

      If base pay information is integrated with SuitePeople U.S. Payroll, and if the employee is included in payroll, the currency is set to U. S. Dollars (USD) and cannot be edited.

    • In the Base Wage field, enter the employee’s base wage.

  5. Click Save.
