Processing payroll with different pay rates

We pay our employees every other Friday, with this week being a pay day.  I have a salaried employee who's pay rate has changed mid-way through this pay cycle.  He should be paid for 7 days at his lower rate and 3 days at his higher rate.

 

How do I handle this in payroll?

Processing payroll with different pay rates

Thanks for getting in touch with the Community, pdavis3437.

 

You can pay an employee at a different rate by adding a new pay type to their profile.

 

Here's how:

  1. In your left navigation bar, go to Payroll, then Employees.
  2. Click the employee's name, then Edit employee.
  3. Under How much do you pay..., choose Add additional pay types.
  4. Pick an appropriate type.
  5. Select Done.

 

Since you're working with multiple pay rates for salaried employees, you'll also need to prorate their salary for each rate during the period.

 

I'll be here to help if there's any questions. Have a lovely day!
