Pay Class

The Pay Class (PYCL) page allows you to define the grouping for employees whose pay is calculated in an identical manner. The Pay Class code on an employee's record informs the system on how to interpret an employee's permanent pay parameters, and to receive rates of pay from the Pay Rate (PPRT) page for table-driven pay. In addition, the page allows you to define a retirement work schedule and retirement pay code.

For Pay Class entries with an Amount Basis ID of Pay Period Amount, the Bypass Standard Time for Salary Calculation check box can be utilized to ensure consistent annual salary calculations across pay periods for the sites that create Pay Class entries on a pay period basis. When the Bypass Standard Time for Salary Calculation check box is selected, the system calculates the employee’s annual salary as Pay Period Amount times the Pay Class Salary Factor Denominator. When the check box is cleared, the system uses the standard annual salary calculation.
