5. Optionally establish default fringe information on the Fringe Benefits tab.
You can customize fringe benefit setup in the Job Fringe Override window:
6. If using fringe Calculation Base #18 (% of Base Rate x Hours), enter the number of the Pay Rate representing the maximum standard pay rate for the Payroll Class in the Master tab’s Maximum Standard Pay Rt # field.
The Pay Rate # must be valid for the Payroll Class. The rate used in Calculation Base 18 computations is the lesser of the regular hourly rate on a timecard and the rate identified by the pay rate number in the Maximum Standard Pay Rt # field.
7. Optionally open the Tax Rule Exceptions window to establish taxation exceptions for fringes with:
