How do you address pay changes mid pay period for salaried employees?
Summary
If an employee receives a mid pay period pay change and are salaried/semi-monthly, payroll calculation results in reduced payContent
When we implemented an integrated HR/Payroll solution, we thought we could lift the requirement that pay change effective dates for our salaried/semi-monthly employees be the first of a pay period (1st or 16th of the month). We discovered that the system is not able to accommodate this scenario without shorting the employee. Here's how:
- Semi-monthly pay rates are calculated by taking the annual salary and dividing by 24 pay periods.
- Example: 100,000 annual rate / 24 = 4166.67 per pay period.
- Semi-monthly hours on which that pay rate is based are calculated by taking hours worked in a calendar year and dividing by pay periods.
