How Does a Back Pay Batch Affect Pay Rates?
- Fiona Sims
The examples below show how a back pay batch applies a back-dated rate change depending on the batch type.
Agreement Back Pay Batch
To understand how an Agreement back pay batch affects the pay rates defined by the pay rate rules of a pay agreement, consider a pay agreement with the following pay rate rules:
Pay Rate Rule | Rate Type | Rate | Validity Period |
1 | Flat Rate | $10.00 | 01/01/2011 - 03/01/2011 |
2 | Flat Rate | $12.00 | 04/01/2011 – 05/01/2011 |
3 | Flat Rate | $14.00 | 06/01/2011 - ongoing |
A back pay batch is processed and the batch updates the pay agreement with a pay rate of $16.00, with the rate change being backdated to 02/01/2011. As a result of processing the back pay batch, the pay rate rules for the pay agreement are modified as follows:
Pay Rate Rule | Rate Type | Rate | Validity Period |
1 | Flat Rate | $10.00 | 01/01/2011 - 01/01/2011 |
2 | Flat Rate | $16.00 | 02/01/2011 – 03/01/2011 |
3 | Flat Rate | $16.00 | 04/01/2011 - 05/01/2011 |
4 | Flat Rate | $16.00 | 06/01/2011 - ongoing |
Payee Back Pay Batch
To understand how a Payee back pay batch affects the pay rate of a payee, consider a payee who has the following hourly pay rates defined on their payee record:
Rate Type | Rate | Validity Period |
Hourly Rate | $17.00 | 01/06/2011 - 03/06/2011 |
Hourly Rate | $18.50 | 04/06/2011 – 10/06/2011 |
Hourly Rate | $19.00 | 11/06/2011 - ongoing |
A back pay batch is processed and the batch updates the payee's hourly pay rate to $19.50, with the rate change being backdated to 02/06/2011. As a result of processing the back pay batch, the payee's hourly pay rates are updated as follows:
Rate Type | Rate | Validity Period |
Hourly Rate | $17.00 | 01/06/2011 - 01/06/2011 |
Hourly Rate | $19.50 | 02/06/2011 – 03/06/2011 |
Hourly Rate | $19.50 | 04/06/2011 - 10/06/2011 |
Hourly Rate | $19.50 | 11/06/2011 - ongoing |
