The Apply FTE to FT Pay Amount function performs a straightforward calculation.

It multiplies the FT Pay Amount by the Career FTE that is active as of the Effective Date on the pay history record.

Calculation formula

FT Pay Amount × Relevant Career FTE = Pay Amount

Decimal precision

  • The calculation supports up to 8 decimal places.

  • However, the Working Pattern FTE assigned to the employee’s career history must be entered manually to include the full precision.

  • By default, the system only calculates FTE to 2 decimal places, so ensure you update the value manually if greater accuracy is required.


Manual override

If your pay calculation differs from this formula or requires a custom approach, do not use the Apply FTE function.


Instead, manually enter the pay amount based on your own calculation to ensure accuracy.
