Concept: Salary Over the Cap for Multiple Positions (USA)
When a worker has multiple job positions, Workday:
- Adds the FTE values of all positions within a gross-to-net result.
- Applies the total FTE to calculate the applicable cap amount.
Workday calculates salary over the cap by applying the total FTE to:
- Positions paid on the same payroll result for payroll actuals.
- Positions in the same pay group for obligations.
- Earnings paid on the position that are outside of the Salary Over the Cap pay component group (SOC-PCG).
Example
Dr. Chavez works at the Global Modern University. She has 2 positions at the university and is on a monthly period schedule for both positions.
- As a professor, she earns $200,000 annual salary at 75% FTE.
- As a researcher, she earns $125,000 annual salary at 25% FTE.
Both postions are associated with a grant subject to a salary cap: SOC Grant A. SOC Grant A is subject to the award salary cap of $183,300 annually, with a grant allocation of 100%.
