how do i add a pay rate that is not in system

Hi there, Anita.

 

To reflect the pay rate for a permanent part-time employee, you'll need to enable a pay category. This is used to define the rates of a paid part-time.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. In the left navigation panel, select Payroll.
  2. Select the Payroll Settings.
  3. Click on Pay Categories.
  4. Click on the Add button.
  5. Enter the pay category name. Select the option Is Fixed if you want the pay rate to be based on a time unit. Otherwise, uncheck it to be based on production.
  6. Click Save.

 

Once done, let's head to the employee's profile to link the pay category:

 

  1. Go to the Payroll tab.
  2. In the Employees section, select the specific employee.
  3. Under Employee Settings, select Pay Rate.
  4. Select the category you set up earlier to add a rate.
  5. Once done, click Save.

 

For more information about managing categories for your pay rates, kindly follow these steps: Create and manage Pay Categories.
