Hi Kim -

You can definitely set up a new class for the steward and register the deduction/fringe schedule for him. However, if you don't want to do that and depending on how different the structure is, you could add a custom field called Shop Steward to the employee custom fields and change the deduction / fringes to look at the checkbox. IF(Shop Steward(Employee Custom Fields) = True, Do this, else do this).

Cheers,

The structure is no different. A Shop Steward only receives $0.75 more per hour no matter which Union they belong to. Would there be a way to set up an additional Pay ID that would charge that amount per hour just like my standard "Hourly" ID?

Example: John works at Job#1 Cost Code#7 for 3 hours @ $10 per hour on 7/8/16.
Normally the $30 goes to Job#1 Cost Code#7
Would there be a way to set an additional Pay ID to automatically put $2.25 (3 X 0.75) to the same Job/Cost Code without having to enter additional lines during payroll?

Kim,

Here are two options:

1. If this employee always works as a Shop Steward on all jobs, and all his pay regardless of his assignments or job cost coding is at the Shop Steward rate, you could set his default pay rate for regular pay on the Employee Setup Pay record at the required rate for Shop Steward. The highest pay rate found for an employee will always be paid during check processing.

2. If there are only specific jobs or conditions when the increased Shop Steward rate applies, you could create a pay rate table specifically for this employee, with the required columns to provide the matching data that triggers the increased pay rate and enter the Regular pay rate for him that will be applied when those conditions are met. Again, employees are paid the highest rate of pay found in the various locations that the system looks for pay rate during check processing.

#1 is what I am currently doing.
I was just wondering if there was another way to set it up like a PayID so that it did it automatically instead of having to keep a list of rates so that it could be added together. Less chance of mistakes if there is no thinking involved. :)
