ACADEMIC_BASE_SALARY
Indexed - no
Format - number (9,2)
May be null? yes |
The total amount that the University guarantees to pay a faculty
member for basic services for the Pay_Term of the primary appointment where
the primary appointment is a faculty job.
In general an Academic_Base_Salary is appropriate only for those individuals
holding an academic primary appointment. In the PennWorks system, the academic
base salary and the salary distributions are recorded on separate screens;
the academic base salary is not linked to a particular job. When querying
someone's Academic_Base_Salary, it is a good idea to confirm that the
primary appointment job class for that person is a faculty job.
Academic_Base_Salary and other Faculty Compensation components are entered into PennWorks and fed nightly from there to the DWCOMP.COMP_PERSON_SALARY table, and then on to the EMPLOYEE table.
[Following the retirement of PennWorks and the mainframe Personnel/Payroll system in July 2019, this column is no longer updated, and values of Academic_Base_Salary for employees whose data is updated from Workday will be 0.]

Benefits Base Salary is the amount used to calculate an employee’s Basic & Supplemental Life Insurance.

PRIMARY_APPT_SALARY
Indexed - no
Format - number (9,2)
May be null? yes
|
The estimated annual amount that the employee
will be paid for the primary job appointment.
Following the implementation of Workday in July 2019, this column is updated to support longitudinal and cross collection reporting as follows: For individuals whose primary position Pay_Rate_Type = 'Salary', the Total_Base_Amount of the worker's primary position is used. For Hourly workers (Pay_Rate_Type of the primary positon = 'Hourly'), the Primary Appt Salary = Hourly_Rate * Default_Weekly_Hours * 52. For terminated employees, rows will remain in the table, and will no longer be updated.
Prior to the implementation of Workday, the Primary_Appt_Salary was determined as follows:
The value be 0 or null for
Positive Paid employees. (For Positive Paid employees, the time worked during
the pay period must be input before the employee is paid.) If the employee
is monthly paid (pay cycle = M1 or M2) or salaried weekly (pay cycle = W1
and appointment employee type = 2), the Primary_Appt_Salary is the annual
salary (entered on Payroll Screen 004). This figure is approximately correct,
but may vary from the actual encumbered amount as Primary_Appt_Salary is
not calculated to the level of distributions for the fiscal year. If the
employee is hourly paid (pay cycle = W1 and appointment employee type =
3 or 5), the Primary_Appt_Salary is one of the following:
If hours = 0 and % full-time = 0, Then Primary_Appt_Salary
= 0 (No data to form an opinion)
If hours = 0 and % full-time > 0, Then Primary_Appt_Salary
= hourly rate * 35 * % full-time * 52
(When no hours are available, but % full-time is available, assume 35
hours a week, 52 weeks a year.)
If hours > 0 and hours < 35, Then Primary_Appt_Salary
= hourly rate * hours * 52
(Ignore % full-time, base calculation on hours, and assume 52 weeks a
year.)
If hours >= 35 and % full-time > 0, Then Primary_Appt_Salary
= hourly rate * hours & % full-time * 52
(Use all available fields in calculation and assume 52 weeks a year.)
If hours >= 35 and % full-time = 0, Then Primary_Appt_Salary
= hourly rate * hours * 52.
(When % full-time is not available, use hours and assume 52 weeks a year.)
For employees who do not meet any of the above criteria, the last method
is used to calculate their Primary_Appt_Salary.
This method of calculation does not consider the week-by-week changes
that might be made in actual payments; it is simply a rough estimate using
the best data available.
The employee's primary job appointment is determined before the Primary_Appt_Salary
is calculated. The calculation logic involves some data scrubbing, in
part because of the various ways of implementing part-time status. For
example, someone who is working half-time could have the number of hours
set to 20 and have % full-time set to 50. If a workaround such as the
above were not devised (for example, giving precedence to the number of
hours), an employee would show a 25% salary rather than a 50% salary.
There may still be glitches in the data. For example, some employees
may have % full-time expressed as a decimal value (say, 50% entered on
Payroll System Screen 004 as 00.50, which is 0.50%). There is no way to
challenge data entered at this level. Any absurd values for Primary_Appt_Salary
are probably due to glitches in the data.
