Changing pay rates for employees

Pay rates can be changed for employees who override the default pay code pay rate through the Payroll Pay Rate Maintenance window. When pays are processed, Synergetic calculates the correct amounts for employees with pay rates that have been changed mid pay period.

To override the default pay code for an employee, see Payroll Maintenance - Pay Details tab.

You can:

• specify a new pay amount, rate or factor for an employee's pay code if that employee overrides the default pay rate for that pay code

Note: Employees that do not override the default pay rate cannot have their pay rate edited here. You must change the pay code's pay rate. See Changing pay rates for pay codes.

• specify the date from which the change will take effect
• view employees that use the default pay rate for a pay code
• view employees who override the default pay code pay rate.

Note: Pay rate changes are not finalised until the pay period that includes the Effective Date has been processed. Until this point, any pay rate changes can be reverted.
