I'm trying to run my payroll but one of my employees turned 21 mid month how do set the pay rate

You can add new Pay types for a specific employee, rinkadink50.

 

Using the new Pay types, you can separate the hours your employee worked at the old rate from the hours worked at the new rate after he turned 21. This will ensure precise calculations for his age-related pay adjustment.

 

Here's how you can add the new rate:

 

  1. Go to Payroll and select Employees.
  2. Find the Additional pay types in Profile tab and click Start.

     
  3. Create a new Pay types and name it like Age 21 Rate.
  4. Enter the new Rate per hour.
  5. Click Save to finalize.


Once completed, you can proceed to Run payroll:

 

  1. In the Run payroll section, locate the employee who turned 21 mid-month.
  2. Enter the number of hours worked under the old rate in the Regular pay column.
  3. Enter the number of hours worked at the new rate in the Age 21 Rate column.
  4. Verify the Total hrs and Gross pay.
  5. Click Preview payroll.
  6. Finalize and Submit payroll when ready.


After completing this pay period, you can simplify future payroll management by unassigning the Age 21 Rate and editing the employee's regular rate to match the Age 21 rate moving forward.
