Additional Duty Table

Use this table to establish rates for the additional duties employees perform. These rates, which are added to employees' primary pay rates, apply only to duties that are ongoing, as opposed to special pays.

In Personnel Budgeting, Additional Duty records contain data for projecting personnel costs in the budget year. The pay is calculated using either a percentage, dollar amount, or combination of the two.

The default file name for the Additional Duty Table report is pdtytabl.rpt.

For the steps for adding, updating, deleting, and printing table records, refer to Table Options and Procedures.

Fields

Description

Duty Code

Code identifying an Additional Duty record. Character/3

Duty Description

Description or job title of the additional duty. Character/25

Percent

Percentage of the employee’s base salary used to budget pay for the additional duty. Enter percentages as decimals; for example, enter 5.5% as .055. Only four decimal places are stored; for example, 0.05555 is rounded to 0.0556.

When both a percentage and dollar amount are used, the system calculates the percentage first, then adds the amount. The formula used is:

(Base Salary x Percentage) + Dollar Amount + Base Salary = New Salary

Dollar

Pay period amount for the additional duty, entered as a dollar amount. If the pay is an annual amount, divide the total by the number of pays issued per year, then enter the result. For example, if an employee receives an additional $3,900 annually and the year has 26 pay periods, enter 150.00 (3900 ÷ 26).

Important

Changing the Percent or Dollar Amount field in an Additional Duty record does not automatically update employees’ budgeted salaries. To recalculate the salaries, you must either run the Calculate Salaries option or access the pay rates for the employees affected.
