Lets say Harry is an employee hired with a salary of 2000 euros per month in The Netherlands. From a HR perspective monthly salary may be used for the employment contract and payroll but the annual salary may be used for the other purposes like salary budgeting and hourly salary may be used for calculating employee productivity.

What is payrate conversion factor?

Essentially pay rate conversion factor is a way of defining how a particular salary value captured on Dynamics 365 Human Resources reflects for a different frequency. For example: A Annual payrate conversion factor can be defined to capture employee 12 month salary and convert into Annual, Weekly and Hourly as explained below:

  • Annual = 12 times the monthly payrate = 2000 x 12 = 24000
  • Weekly = 1/4 times the monthly payrate = 2000 x 0.25 = 500
  • Hourly = 1/160 times the monthly payrate = 2000 x 0.00625 = 12.5

That’s it, payrate conversion factor helps in converting the employee fixed compensation from one frequency into another. This information is displayed on the employee fixed compensation form to the Human Resources administrators which makes it super easy when they want to check it quickly😀
