When your elements for use in Salary Administration are in place and you have defined links for them, you associate an element with each salary basis in use in your enterprise. The salary basis establishes the duration for which a salary is quoted, such as, hourly (for example, 1,000 yen per hour) or annually (for example, 18,000 pounds per year).
The salary basis is not necessarily the same as the pay frequency. For example, an employee with an hourly pay rate can have the salary basis Hourly Salary, but can have an assignment to a weekly payroll and therefore have a weekly pay frequency.
Note: You cannot use the Element Entries window or BEE to make entries to any elements that are associated with salary bases. You must use the Salary page to enter and maintain entries for the element.
