gross base salary
calculées sur la rémunération de base brute
-->
calculated on the gross amount of the base salary
The 'remunération de base' is very often expressed in terms of the salary payable in a given reference year (sometimes many years ago...), which serves to calculate the 'current' salary by means of an indexation mechanism.
fictitious example:
- remunération de base (1990 = 100%) = 1000 currency units
- current salary in 2011 (index = 300%) = 3000 currency units

Primary info source: my salary was calculated this way for 25 years when I worked in house in Belgium and Switzerland.

: I'd be perhaps inclined to say 'basic', but totally agree that 'rémunération' is just HR-speak for 'salary'; I see it all the time in contexts that are unambiguous

gross basic remuneration
I would stick as close as possible to the French, especially as remuneration could include non-salary components like allowances and benefits in kind.
