Understanding Piece Rate Processing Setup

You use piece rate processing to pay employees in the organization by the number of units that they produce or complete, rather than paying them by the number of hours that they work or on a salaried basis.

You can enter timecards for piece rate employees into the system by using any of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne time entry programs. Depending on how you set the processing options for the Time Entry MBF Processing Options program, the system derives the piece rate from either the F060116 table or the F07918 table.

After you enter the timecards, you can process the timecard automation rule sets to calculate minimum wage and overtime adjustments, and then you can process the piece rate timecards through a regular payroll cycle. During the payroll cycle, you can review piece rate information on payroll reports. In addition, you can print payments that include piece rate information, or you can review the piece rate information online.

After you process the timecards through the final update step of the payroll cycle, you can review piece rate history for all employees that have been processed using piece rate information.
