You can manage how rate-based benefits (or taxes) are calculated using the Manage Benefit Type option on the ribbon.
The Manage Benefit Type option allows you to add new benefit types and define the criteria for which these benefits are calculated – either based on Base Salary, Bonus, Overtime or Commission.

4. To add a new benefit, select the Insert button to add a new row.
5. On the new row, enter the Type name and select the checkbox for the criteria to calculate the benefit item on. The Type name cannot be <BLANK> or a duplicate and at least one criterion must be checked.
