Warning

This article is intended to help you set up the prevailing wage for a Job, or other discrepancies in hourly rate. To set up the default rate for user see Define Rate(s) of Pay

To change the rate paid for hours worked on a Job, there are 3 options. We can…
1. Specify a minimum rate for lead technicians/additional workers, for all hours on the Job.
2. Specify the minimum rate for hours worked on certain tasks.
3. Set up multiple rates for each user, and tell the system to bump everyone up to their 2nd, 3rd etc. rate for all Job hours.


1.  Specify a minimum rate for lead technicians/additional workers, for all hours on the Job.

a. To select this option, open your Job, and go to the “Payroll” tab.

b. Then select “ROP for All Tasks Is:”

c.  Now we need to select the minimum rate for the lead tech and the additional workers (in case this rate is different).

i. To set the Lead Tech rate, click the elipsis next to Lead Tech, and click "Select or Define ROP Group".

ii. This will pull up a list of all your existing rates, including the rates your technicians already have. You can highlight an existing rate, or add a new one. (Repeat the same steps for the additional worker)
iii. If any user's regular rate is higher than the selected rate, the system will continue to use their original rate.


2.  Specify the minimum rate for hours worked on certain tasks.

a. To select this option, open your Job, and go to the “Payroll” tab.
b. Then click "Specify ROP Per Task". (Note that the previous rates we set up for all tasks are grayed out and will not be used).
c.  The rate of pay must now be specified for each task on the Job.

i.  Go to the "What & When" tab.
ii. Highlight a task, and click "Modify".
iii. Click "Specify ROP As:"
vi.  Then set the rate for the Lead Tech, and the Additional Workers. See steps 1.c. above for directions on how to do this. Don't forget that this method requires you to set the rate for all tasks requiring an alternative rate.


3.  Set up multiple rates for each user, and tell the system to bump everyone up to their 2nd, 3rd, etc. rate for all Job hours.

a.  Set up multiple rates for user.

i.  Go to File > Users
ii. Highlight a user, and click "Modify".
iii. Go to the "Add'l info" tab > "Rate of Pay" tab.

vi. In the drop down you can see that there are 4 potential rates for our user. In this example only the first rate has been defined. 
v. If I switch the drop down to the 2nd rate, you can see that this rate is undefined/not set up.
iv. To define the 2nd rate, click the elipsis button, and click "Select Or Define Rate of Pay Group".
iiv. This will take you to a list of all rates you have previously set up. Select an existing rate, and click select, or add a new rate before selecting.


b. Specify which rate level to use for Job.

i. Back on the Job, under the "Payroll" tab, you will select a rate level in the drop down next to "Default Rate:". This will give each user their 2nd level rate for hours worked on this Job.
