Default Rates for Timesheet Entry

These rates will be associated with this craft code and the system will use these rates for timesheet entry. These rates will override the pay rates found in the employee file. If no rates are desired to be associated with this craft code, leave these fields blank and the system will use the pay rates found in the employee file.

Regular Rate

Enter the amount per hour the employee receives for regular hours. When timesheet information is entered, the system will assume this rate unless specified otherwise.

Overtime Rate

This field holds the employee’s normal overtime rate. It is used as a default value during timesheet entry. A value may be input to this field by one of two methods. The first is the usual method of simply typing in the desired value. The second method is to enter a decimal value (no units). This value will be multiplied by ten and then multiplied by the regular rate. The result will be the overtime rate. For example: typing .15 <Enter> would result in an overtime rate of one and a half times the regular rate. Typing .2 <Enter> would result in a ‘double time’ overtime rate.

Premium Rate

This field holds the employee’s premium rate. Whenever an employee works at overtime rates, the premium hours may be tracked separately from regular and overtime hours. It is used as a default value during timesheet entry. A value may be input to this field by one of two methods. The first is the usual method of simply typing in the desired value. The second method is to enter a decimal value (no units). This value will be multiplied by ten and then multiplied by the regular rate. The result will be the premium rate. For example: typing .15 <Enter> would result in an premium rate of one and a half times the regular rate. Typing .2 <Enter> would result in a ‘double time’ premium rate.
