Defining trade rates

Define rates for trades. When booking hours, the system first checks to see if an Hourly Rate is defined for the employee. If so, the hours are booked at that rate. However, if you have not defined trade rates for the employee, the system assigns the Hourly Rate defined for the trade on the trade Rates tab.

Note: Define trades on the Trades form. See Defining Trades

To define trade rates:

  1. Open the Trades form.
  2. Select the trade for which to define rates, and then click the Rates tab.
  3. Click Add Rate.
  4. Organization—Enter the organization to which the rate belongs if you use multi-organization security.
  5. Type of Hours—Enter hour occupation type for this work, e.g., select N for normal hours or O for overtime hours.
  6. Department—Enter the department associated with this rate. If the rate applies to all departments, enter*.
  7. Hourly Rate—Enter the hourly rate for this trade.
  8. Start Date and End Date—Enter the beginning and ending dates to which the rate applies.
    Note: Dates for the same trade type/department combination cannot overlap. For example, the MAINT department of ORG1 cannot have an overtime hourly rate of 20 to start 01-01-2004 and end 12-31-2004 and another overtime hourly rate of 30 to start 05-01-2004.
  9. Currency. The system displays the currency of the organization.
  10. Click Submit.
    Note:  To delete a rate, select the rate to delete, and then click Delete Rate.
