How does the Fixed Wage type work with Pay schedules?
Since it is supposed to mean "per pay period," when the wage type is set to "fixed," and a global contractor is added to a pay schedule, they are paid the full amount each pay period. The only time proration would be done is when considering start dates.
You can change the type from the global contractor's profile to what works best for you. If you prefer to keep Fixed as the wage type, you'll need to ensure the amount paid each period is correct.
