FAQ: How do you calculate Additional Pay and Benefits where we don't know the amount or the amounts are different?

Sometimes benefits have complex calculation models that result in many Employees having unique additional pay or benefit amounts. 

For example: Life insurance is based on age, everyone costs a different amount based on their specific age range and it is too many options to put inside the Data Model Manager. 

1. Set up the Additional Pay or Benefit as a Flat Amount per Time Period set at $1 Annually.
2. Now assign that Additional Pay or Benefit to the Employees. You can use the bulk upload or assign through the dropdown in the Employees table.
3. Create a Scenario, or navigate to your existing Scenario and go to the Additional Pay or Benefit Tab.
4. Lastly, expand the Scenario to the Employee level and enter the amount each person makes in the column. Be sure to subtract $1 from their totals as the $1 will automatically be applied to each employee who is assigned the Additional pay. 
   • Note: Instead of entering values per employee, you can enter the value at a higher level and it will equally distribute the values down to every employee in that group. For example: Unit, Department, or Job Title level.
