Salary Calculation - HRS3400

Payroll > Utilities > Mass Update > Salary Calculation

This tab is used to update salary data for a number of employees at a single time. Data may be updated by a variety of criteria including pay type, pay grade, primary campus, and payroll frequency. Once salary data is altered using this page, changes are reflected in the individual employee records.

The system makes salary calculations based on the salary concept which uses one of the following three formulas: midpoint, annual salary, or hourly/daily rate.

Caution: Because of the profound and widespread effects caused by this function, users should exercise caution when executing mass update salary calculations.

If All is selected, the system will not perform salary calculations.
Extract ID	Click to select a three-character, locally assigned code (e.g., En1 = English 1, AL2 = Algebra 2, HI4 = History 4) for grouping employees. The code is used to tag employee records for a batch process (e.g., copy or extract). Each employee must have the Extract ID set in the Employment Info tab before they can be selected using this function.
Employee Nbr	If you want to update data for only one employee, type the employee number, if known. If the employee number is not known or multiple employees are needed, click to select employees.

Based on the parameters selected, the following results may occur:

The system recalculates the distribution amount based on the contract amount. The distribution amount is equally distributed based on percentage.
The supplemental (extra duty) amount is calculated.
- If you have an extra duty account type G, the distribution percentages and amounts are recalculated. The extra duty amount is added to the contract amount. If the extra duty is not attached to any specific job code, the extra duty amount displayed on the Pay Info page will be distributed to the primary job distributions. If the extra duty is attached to a specific job code, the extra duty amount displayed on the Pay Info page is distributed to the distributions for that job code.
- If a supplemental (extra duty type S) amount is calculated, the extra duty table values for the activity, expense 373, TRS grant code, and workers' compensation code will be populated to the distribution records assigned to the extra duty code.
The daily rate of pay, pay rate, contract total amount, state minimum salary, and accrual rates are recalculated.
If the midpoint salary concept is selected, a midpoint page is displayed. Increases are calculated based on the percent of increase indicated in the Max Percent Pay Increase or Mid Percent Pay Increase fields as indicated. Do not enter an increase to either of the fields if all desired increases were made to the midpoint salary table.

Midpoint calculation examples

If a fund has a grant code assigned to it on the Salaries, Fund to Grant tab, that grant code will be assigned to all distributions assigned to the fund. If no grant code is assigned, the grant code in the distribution record is not changed.

Under Type of Calculation:

Salary	Select to run the regular salary calculation.
State Minimum Only	Select to only run the state minimum calculation.

Select Apply the Percent of Day Employed to Salary Amount to calculate the salary for either the Salary option or the State Minimum Only option based on the percentage of day employed.
