With the new system, HR Contacts need to calculate the amount per pay period for instances of ongoing Additional Pay, rather than the previous approach of indicating the total amount. They will then enter the per-pay-period amount into the Additional Pay eForm. This applies to ongoing salary adjustments. The calculator is a simple Excel spreadsheet that does the calculations for you based on total amount, pay group and number of pay periods.
