Overview

Please read about Remuneration Concepts

The Remuneration module provides hourly rates, salaries, etc. to the Employment (JOBHIST) module and the Gross pay (TIMEDT) module in accordance with company rules and pay scales.

The remuneration module itself maintains rates and rules based on your collective agreements. It does not store information about individual employees.

Since it is used internally mostly, you won't often use it directly. But you will need to keep it up to date.

• See Remuneration: Designing your RATE table for an in-depth explanation. Usually your RATE table will be built by the Umana installation.

How it works

To obtain a rate for an employee, there are 3 steps:

1. Using information about the employee (and maybe the job performed), build a RATEID, which determines the row in the rate table.
2. Select the series of rates for the date requested. Each row has a series of rates effective on a specific date.
3. Finds the appropriate Remuneration plan, which tell it which column(s) in the RATE table rate contain the information required.

It then returns the resulting rate to the requesting module.
