Overriding an Hourly Rate for an Employee
Access the Speed Time Entry Revisions form or the Time Entry Revisions form.
If you selected the Advanced Contract Billing Used check box in the Service Billing Constants program (P48091), the system displays the Contract Labor Category field on the Speed Time Entry Revisions form or the Time Entry Revisions form.
- Override Rate
Enter the override rate for the employee. The override rate that the system assigns to a timecard is based on the value of the Override Rate Assignment MBF Time Entry processing option. If you choose to use the override rate as the base hourly rate, the system initially assigns the specified rate to the base hourly rate (BHRT). Then, the system modifies the base hourly rate to include the pay type multiplier and assigns it to the hourly rate (PHRT). Finally, the system applies any shift or uprate amounts on the timecard to the hourly rate and assigns it to the extended hourly rate (SHRT). If you choose to use the override rate as the final hourly rate, the system assigns the specified rate to the base hourly rate, hourly rate, and extended hourly rate without making any modifications.
- Uprate
Enter an amount that the system adds to an employee's base hourly rate. For example, you might enter a rate differential for equipment operators when they move from operating one piece of equipment to another piece. The system adds the uprate amount to the base pay rate to calculate gross wages before it performs any other rate calculations, such as applying a shift differential or pay type multiplier.
- Shift Diff. (shift differential)
Enter an additional rate, expressed in dollars or percent, added to an employee's hourly rate, depending on the shift worked. This rate can be applied in one of two ways, as defined by the Shift Differential Calculation Sequence (data item CMTH).
- %/ Amt (percentage amount)
Enter a code that specifies whether Shift Differential contains an hourly rate or a percentage. Values are:
H: The system adds the amount in Shift Differential to the hourly rate.
%: The amount in Shift Differential is a percentage of the hourly rate that the system adds to the hourly rate.
