Setting Up Occupational Pay Rates

Access the Single Revisions Occupational Pay Rate form.

Employee Identification

Enter the employee number, tax ID, or alternate number, depending on the employee number mode that is set up in the Payroll Constants for company 00000.

From Date

Enter the date on which the pay rate becomes active.

Thru Date

Enter the date on which the pay rate becomes inactive.

Hourly Rate

Enter the employee's hourly rate, which is retrieved during time entry. This rate can override the rate in the Employee Master table.

Note: If you change the number of the data display decimal digits for this field, you must also change fields Rate - Base Hourly (BHRT) and Rate - Hourly (SHRT) so that they have exactly the same number of data display decimal digits.

Distribution Rate

Enter a number that specifies the rate that the system uses to bill for labor services. This rate is often referred to as the billing or recharge rate. The system charges the resulting amount, based on this rate, to the primary distribution account for the timecard. The system also enters an offset to an account that is derived from automatic accounting instructions. This rate does not affect employee payroll.

To allow billing rates in time entry, the employee record type must be set to 2 (payroll and recharge processing) or 3 (recharge processing only) in the Employee Payroll program (P0801PRL).

Piecework Rate

Enter the rate paid for the type of component (piece) produced. If you enter a rate in this field, this rate overrides the rate in the Employee Master table.
