The wage method that sets how much an employee earns for non-teaching events is set on their profiles. In a situation where an employee earns a wage using one method for most of their non-teaching events but occasionally earns a different amount, such as a holiday rate, you can use the Non-Teaching Event Wage Override feature.

Enabling Wage Override

You can follow the steps below to enable wage override for non-teaching events:

  1. Click on "Account & Settings" and then click on "Account Settings".

  2. Scroll down to the "Cost & Wage Settings" section.

  3. Set the "Non-Teaching Wage Override" setting to "Enabled'.

  4. Submit the form to save your changes.

You will now see an "Override Default Wage Method" option on the "Create Non-Teaching Event" and "Edit Non-Teaching Event" forms when the "Event is for" setting is set to "Selected Employees".

Non-Teaching Event Wage Override Options

When you click on the "Override Default Wage Method" checkbox, you will be able to select from the following options:

  1. Work List Wage - This will set the wage using the hourly wage set in your Work List.

  2. Profile List Wage - This will set the wage using the hourly wage set in the "Non-Teaching Hourly Wage" field on the employee's profile.

  3. Custom Wage - This option will allow you to set a custom hourly wage for the non-teaching event.

Permissions

The "Override Default Wage Method" checkbox is only displayed to staff users with the "Payroll & Hours" permission set to "Manage". It will always be visible to the company administrator when the feature is enabled.
