Multiple Wage Rates

Problem

Employee is paid different wage rates for different types of work.

Diagnosis

This may happen for "prevailing wage" or union work, or if the employee works in different states.

Solution

First, fill the most commonly used wage rate into the Wage Schedule field, in the Employee account.

When they create Labor Hours, it will fill in that "usual" rate. They can change the Wage Schedule for any hours that are at a different rate.

HINT-- If the employee frequently works at the "alternate" rate for some jobs, fill in one Labor Hours records with that info, then choose Template This Item from the Options menu. The next time the employee works on that job, click the template popup (to the right of the New button) to automatically enter the correct job and wage schedule.
