Updating Employee Pay Rates

In order to update an employee's rate of pay, you need to access their Employee Details record. 

To do this, either click on the employee's name if you can see it in the list (you start on the Employees menu), or just start typing the name in the 'Find an Employee' field: 

Once you have accessed the record of the employee that you wish to update,  select the Pay Rates option under the Pay Run Settings heading. 



Leave pay rates

The purpose of the 'Leave Pay Rates' setting is to configure the applicable calculation method to be applied in a pay run for daily based and weekly based leave specific to that employee. To do this, go to the employee's file > Pay Rates screen, then under 'Leave Pay Rates', select the appropriate calculation method. Refer here for more information. 

Pay Rates

You can alter the pay rate/s accordingly. If you would like a pay category to automatically be included in a pay run, tick the 'Show in pay run' box (as shown below) and then click on 'Save' to save details. 

Note - the employee's pay rate changes are effective from the day after the period end date of the most recent pay run the employee has been included in (or the employee's start date if there's no finalised pay run).
