      What is a Wage Type?\ Wage type is a numerical coding system SAP uses to define a type of payment or deduction. Keep in mind the following: - On Duke employee pay statements, wage types appear as pay given to Duke employees. - Within SAP, the wage type is a four-digit number. - On an employee's pay statement, the wage type number of the payment corresponds to an abbreviation displayed on a pay statement, which helps employees understand individual components of gross pay and deductions. - Non-exempt employees will see the total amount of their standard hours as BASERATE on their pay statement identified by wage type 1000 in SAP. - Exempt employees will see SALARY on their pay statement identified by wage type 1400. - Research administrators, particularly those working with faculty with nine-month appointments, often want to identify supplemental payments. Keep in mind the following: - SAP identifies recurring supplemental payments (often used to pay nine-month faculty in the summer months) using wage type 1132. - SAP uses wage type 1134 for one-time, one-month supplemental payments. - Programming is currently under development for a unique wage type to define summer supplements for faculty with nine-month appointments. This wage type will be available later in 2024. - Until that time, if research administrators know that a faculty member only receives supplemental payments for summer work on a specific project, they can assume that a payment using wage type 1132 is for the faculty member's summer supplement. They can also confirm by referencing submitted iForms.
