To increase consistency in burden rate calculations, a new setup setting has been created to clarify burden rate conversions, Assignment.Burden Rate Conversion. Previously, burden rates between 1.01 and 1.39 were automatically converted to a percentage.
With this setting, if set to Yes, burden rates from 1.01 to 1.39 will convert to a percentage. For example, 1.2 becomes 20%. If set to No, no conversion will happen and the burden rate will save as entered. This setting does not affect Permanent Placements, as they will always save with the entered burden rate. The setting is automatically set for existing customers according to current usage of burden rates.
