BONUS BATCH

You should have an open or pending batch to process bonus.

• Bonus Name - name the bonus
• Bonus Start Date / Cutoff Date - determines how many months of bonus shall be paid.
  • If it is a calendar year bonus for example, set as 01 Jan - 31 Dec.  If it is semi-yearly, then 01 Jan - 30 Jun 
  • Bonus months will also automatically be prorated, if the employee joined in middle of the period
• Bonus Wage Rounding - if bonus months are prorated, will you roundup or rundown the months?
• Minimum Bonus Months - minimum number of months of employment required to receive the bonus

EMPLOYEE SELECTION

Select a group of employees that are eligible for the bonus.  Note that only employees that meet all the selected criteria will be included.

BONUS AMOUNT

• Bonus Wage Basis - specify what wage basis bonus will be paid upon
  • Basic Monthly Wage - employee's Basic Wage calculated on a monthly basis
  • Fixed Monthly Wage - Basic Monthly Wage, plus any Other Payment Types specified as Fixed Wage Basis 
  • Gross Monthly Wage - Basic Monthly Wage, plus any Other Payment Types specified as Gross Wage Basis
  • Basic Salary - sum of all wages classified as "Basic Salary" during the bonus period, divided by 12
  • Average Total Wage - sum of all total wages during the bonus period, divided by 12
  • Fixed Amount - user specified fixed amount 
• Monthly Bonus Wage Multiplier - percentage multiplier to the Bonus Wage Basis, for instance if you would like to pay 110% of the monthly wage

• Other Payments - any Other Payment type selected will be included in the Bonus Wage Basis calculation. If only applicable; if not, leave blank
  All Other Payments made within the Bonus Period will be summed and divided by 12.
  For example:
  Set Bonus Wage Basis as Basic Salary
  
  Computation
  Basic Bonus = Sum of all Basic Salary / 12
