Pay Codes
The Pay Code screen maintains all pay codes used throughout the system. Pay codes are used to calculate the employee pay, based on the employee pay rate and formulas assigned. Pay codes also determine the pay categories for employee earnings during the pay period to be used in reporting.
This screen is used to establish the relationship between the pay categories within Time and Attendance and those of the payroll system.
-
A single existing pay code record can be replicated to create a new pay code with all the same attributes and then renamed and modified.
-
Multiple selected pay code records can be copied to the same organization unit (and renamed) or to another organization unit. The new records can then be opened and modified. This feature can be used when setting up a new organization unit, to create a new set of pay codes the same as the source organization unit.
The following Pay Code Sections are available when adding or viewing a record:
-
General screen (see below)
Displays basic information about the pay code.
-
Opens a screen to display the related overrides for each pay code when differentials are applied.
-
Opens a screen of indicators that can be assigned to adjust this pay code. These are used if an additional pay code is assigned with premiums rather than a replacement pay code.
-
Opens a screen of parameters that can be assigned to adjust this pay code. These are used if an additional pay code is assigned with premiums rather than a replacement pay code.
-
Opens a screen that lists any unions that are excluded from the pay code you are viewing. Employees in the excluded unions do not have access to the pay code.
General screen
This screen opens with six tabs of information to be set up, including General information about the pay code, pay code Indicators, pay code Parameters, Report Assignments to determine which reports and totals include this pay code, User Defined Categories to determine the time card summary category in which the pay code is included, and LaborView Categories to determine which categories the pay code will accumulate into on LaborView reports.
