  • If copying with a new effective date, the compensation calculation will be recalculated using the most current information relative to the new Effective Date. The inputs that are refreshed include: Exchange Rates, Base Salary, Family Size and Custom Calculations. View the Compensation Batches Refreshed Inputs section for details on how the inputs are refreshed. Note: When the copying with a new effective date on a compensation calculation that uses a tax calculation, it will decrease the license counter, unless unexpired recalculations are available for the Assignment.

  • In the event that a compensation batch is processing, compensation calculations copied with a new effective date will not finish copying until the batch has finished. To help, a progress bar will appear when copying a Compensation Calculation with a new effective date and will display the current status of the estimate until copying has completed.

  • The copied calculation must use one of the available data-entry currencies of the original Compensation Calculation. Data-entry currency is listed in the Data-Entry Currency field in the Compensation Calculation section. In the example below, the data-entry currency is US Dollars. Up to three data-entry currencies are typically associated with an assignment: the company currency defined in the Company screen, and the home and host country’s currencies for the assignment defined in the Assignment screen.
