As a practitioner, you can define a certain rate of pay to be associated with a particular job. You can do this at the time that you create the labor charge value for the specific job, or you can add the job rate later, as described below.

Note: This procedure described below allows you to define a rate to be paid to any employee who works a particular job. You can also create an employee job rate to define an employee-specific rate for work performed in a particular department/job combination, or you can use the more flexible and powerful wage rate program feature to associate rates with more complex labor charge value combinations. The wage rate feature allows you to increase, reduce, or multiply any employee's base rate or use an entirely different flat rate when work is charged to specified combinations of labor charge values. A wage rate program can be assigned at the employee or pay group level.

To define or edit a job rate to be paid when any employee charges time to a specific job:

1. From the Time & Attendance menu, select Setup.

   Note: If the Setup option is not visible, make sure that you have selected Practitioner in the Role Selector.

2. Under the Labor Charge Fields heading, click the Job link. A Job Values page opens and displays the Job values that have been defined for your company.

3. Click the ID of the job for which you want to define or edit a global job rate. A Job page opens showing details about the selected job value, including any job rates that have already been defined for it.

4. If job rates have already been defined, you can edit or delete the existing job rates:

   • To change the monetary amount to be paid per hour for the job, delete the value in the Rate column and enter a new monetary amount. Use only numbers and a decimal point. Do not use monetary symbols.

   • To delete a job rate, select the check box in the Delete column for the rate, and then click the Submit button.

     Note: Do not click the Delete button. Clicking the Delete button will delete the entire job value.

5. If no blank row exists and you want to add a new job rate, click the Add New Job Rate link. A blank row is added.

6. To create a new job rate, click the button in the Effective Date column of a blank row, and then select the date on which you want the job rate to become effective.

7. In the Rate column, enter the hourly rate of pay to be associated with the job. Use only numbers and a decimal point; do not use monetary symbols.

8. Click the Submit button. 

Notes:
Only one job rate is ever in effect for each job value, but you can schedule changes in the rate for a particular job by adding rows and creating new job rates with different effective dates. The job rate in effect is always the rate with the latest effective date that has already passed. The effective job rate expires when the effective date of the next scheduled job rate is reached.

Job rates are only used for earnings codes that are configured to use job rates (rather than employee rates, wage rates, or earnings code rates). These settings are determined when your earnings codes are set up, usually by your ADP Time & Attendance Representative. For more information, see Configuring When Rates Are Used.
