Why Use Pay Code Overrides?
Need to pay different rates for different jobs? Maybe you pay more for weekend work, or special projects require premium pay. Pay Code overrides ensure employees' time cards automatically reflect the right pay rate for each situation.
This article will explain how to create pay codes, add them to pay profiles, and use them.
1 - Creating Pay Codes
First, set up your different pay rates.
Click the gear icon (top right) to access company settings
Select the Payroll tab
Select Pay Codes
Using the + button, add each type of pay code you'll need (weekend rates, special projects, etc.)
2 - Adding Pay Codes to Profiles
Connect these pay codes to your pay profiles.
Click on Pay Profiles, select the Pay Profile
Click the + button to start the wizard
Give the Pay Type a descriptive name
Choose your Pay Code from the dropdown
Set the override amount:
Add a percentage to base pay or
Add a dollar amount to base pay
3 - Using Pay Code Overrides
Once set up, you have three flexible ways to apply special pay rates:
When scheduling a team on a shift
When adding a person to a scheduled shift
When editing a time card
The pay codes stay in your system and are ready to use whenever you need them - there is no need to recreate special rates each time.
