Multiple 'Base Hourly' rates

Hi there

 

We have several staff members who work across several programs, meaning that they effectively have several base hourly rates (up to three), and are paid at different rates depending on the job they do within the payroll period (fortnight). So far so good.

 

The 'problem' is that most of these hours worked come with loadings/allowances. The loading (e.g. 50% Saturday loading) will only get calculated on the main Base Hourly rate (e.g. $30). So when an employee also requires loading for their othwe two rates (e.g. $25 and $35), this means I have to manually calculate these loadings every time. 

 

Now there doesn't appear to be any built-in way around this, and my initial idea of creating several employee cards for the same employee would surely have tax implications? But in the hope that there must be others out there with the same problem, I'd love to hear how you get around this, if at all.


Thanks in advance!

Re: Multiple 'Base Hourly' rates

Hi @vidario 

 

AccountRight will only allow for the employee to have one hourly rate listed in the employee record. This stored in the employee's card>>Payroll Details>>Wages -- Hourly rate. 

 

If an employee would have multiple hourly rates, typically users would have an extra wage category set up for the employee. This particular category will have the fixed hourly amount of the desired rate with the necessary employee(s) linked to that category.


In terms of allowances and other categories, typically you would do the same thing i.e. a set up another payroll category with the desired fixed hourly rate and the employees linked.


Our Help Article: Wages has more information on setting up those wage categories.

Kind regards,
Steven
