Not set: The day rate depends on their work pattern. For team members whose work patterns have five working days a week, their day rates are based on the setting selected at the company level. For all other work patterns, team members have their day rate calculated in the same way as the Use work pattern method.
Use work pattern: The day rate is calculated using their normal salary per period, and dividing it by the number of working days in the period, based on their work pattern.
Additional information regarding rolling back
When using the 253, 260 or 261 method, and there are 23 working days in the month, one day will be deducted from proration calculations. For a salary change, this day will be deducted off the latter of the two salaries in the period.
