This page is used to maintain the HR pay scales used in salary calculations in Research Costing and Pricing (ReCaP).
• Salary category options are shown in fields on the Project Team pages in ReCaP. There is no limit to the number of salary rates you can define in RME.
• Salary category groups and categories are defined in RME. See: Configure categories related to salary rates below.
• Values used in ReCaP for salary calculations are: Gross salary including indexation, FTE % or number of hours committed for the project, and on-cost %.
