USWS - SCALE BASE DATE#

This date field will determine which effective date Scale Wage Rate the wage rate change will use to calculate the new wage rate. Some clients will use a wage rate other than the most recent to apply a wage rate change to and this date field will allow for that option.

Blank Field

This will apply the wage rate change to the last effective date record and use this wage rate for the new updated scale wage rate.

Date Entered

The wage rate change will be applied to the wage rate that is associated with the entered date. The result will be added to the current wage rate.

Example

:

This is a record of wage rate changes for a single step in ISWS

Start Date	End Date	Scale Rate	Basis
01-Jan-0001	25-Jun-2008	120.00	WK
26-Jun-2008	03-Mar-2010	122.40	WK
04-Mar-2010	31-Dec-3999	128.52	WK

A 3% wage increase is planned for 01-Jan-2013

Scale Base Date field blank
The calculation will be 128.52 x 3% = 3.86 + 128.52 = 132.38
Scale Base Date field 01-Jan-0001
The calculation will be 120.00 x 3% = 3.6 + 128.52 = 132.12
The new effective date wage rate will be either one of the examples below depending on the use of the scale base date field:

01-Jan-2013	31-Dec-3999	132.38	WK
01-Jan-2013	31-Dec-3999	132.12	WK
