Adding Rates for Zones

Adding Rates for Zones

Pay rate groups are zone aware. This means that you can have a different 24-hour profile of payments for each zone in which you have shifts. A single Pay Rate Group when applied to a shift will result in one payment for Zone 1 and a different payment for Zone 2.

To add an additional set of rates for a zone you first need to click on the Pay Rate Groups icon. Select Pay Rates under the Finance+ tab.

This screen can also be accessed from the dashboard by selecting the icon highlighted below:

To add an additional set of rates for a zone, select the Pay Rate Group, highlight the relevant Pay Rate Group and click on the Add Rate for Zones button.

Depending on the type of Pay Rate Group the following dialog boxes will open:

Fixed Hourly Rate

Select the Zone and Fixed Rate and select Save.

Multiple Hourly Rates

 Select the Zone from the dropdown list and click on the Add Hourly Rate button.

The following window will open:

Enter the Start Time and Hourly Rates as required.

Once completed select Save.

The new values will appear as an additional column in the Pay Rate Groups window.

When the Pay Rate Group is linked to a Shift, it will check to see if the Zone linked to that shift matches up to the Zone based rates. If it does match, the shift will be paid at the hourly rate listed against the Zone.

If the Zone linked to the shift does not match the Zone based rate then the shift will be paid at the default hourly rate of the Pay Rate Group.

Note: Pay Rate Groups can have multiple Zone based rates depending on the number of Zones created.
