Plan type
Considerations
Percent-based
The worker's Qualifying Earnings (QE) are multiplied by the percent-based plan during the payroll calculation. Workday doesn't include the compensation basis in the allowance plan in the payroll calculation.
Amount-based
Amount-based plans apply the amount, adjusted by the allowance frequency and payroll periods.
If a worker is eligible for multiple allowances, they're aggregated together.
Workday currently doesn't support calculated plans for calculating superannuation.
