Assign Employee to Department
Assign Multiple Pay Rates to an Employee
Multiple pay rates are available and can be applied to employees working in multiple departments.
 
Step 1. Entering additional pay-rates is accomplished in a employee's personal setup file. To access the file, click on the Employee Setup link from the Main Menu (see illustration).

Step 2. The company Employee Setup screen serves as both a navigational tool with hyperlinks to each employee's personal file and as a summary tool, as you can customize each of the columns displayed.  The screen tool-bar includes a drop-down  menu containing all the Employee Setup items, associated with table buttons such as Show Column and Hide Column to specify the table's display (see illustration).

Step 3. From the setup screen you may operate in one of three ways: add new employee record; work with an individual employee by clicking on the desired name or work with multiple employees simultaneously by checking each individual's corresponding check-box and the work with selected employees button provided below the table (see illustration).

Step 4. Once again, each alternate pay-rate is coordinated with a specific department. Alt Pay #1, 2 and 3 must be assigned to Home 1, 2 and 3; whereas, an employee's regular pay, if for example an employee is not assigned multiple departments, is entered in the Default Pay Rate and must be coordinated with Home Department. A help pop-up display is available for all setup items by clicking on the item link (see illustration).

Each alternate pay-rate is coordinated with a specific department found in the Employee Setup screen. Alt Pay #1, 2 and 3 must be assigned to Home 1, 2 and 3. If an employee is not assigned multiple departments, their regular pay is entered in the Default Pay, which must be coordinated with Home Department, both of which will be entered in the same Employee Setup screen.

Note Also: As alternate pay-rates are by necessity connected with specific departments, the clock must know which department the employee is entering in order to assign the proper pay-rate. Using Clocks Prompts is the appropriate method to filter punch activity into separate departments. Refer to the Clock Prompts page for setup details. For other options that don't require scripting to tie rates with departments made via a clock prompt please refer to Knowledge Base Article: #133.
