Setting up three employees with 2 different pay rates

[Jen65]

Hi can i get some advice on how to set up three employees I was hoping without so many categories:

Casual Employee Pay rates includes:

Overseas Rate

Perth Rate

Problems is all three employees get paid a diferrent rate for overseas and perth.  I really didnt want 6 categories to cover this does anyone have a simple solution here.  The only thing I can think of is the base perth rate in the card and then three different overseas rates but wasnt sure if anyone had any other ideas.

Any assistance appreciated.

Hi @Jen65 

I think different categories for each pay rate is necessary, an the easiest.

Hi Ian, is it ok to have categories in wages setup as per there job desciption and different rates rather than using the default base hourly or do you have to use the base hourly category ?

HI @Jen65 

You don’t have to use the Base Hourly payroll category to pay wages, however this category cannot be removed from the employees card. That said if you found it easier and clearer to have separate wage categories, such as an overseas rate and a Perth rate for each employee you could use these as separate wage categories
