Issue/Symptom/Question

How can I setup an Union Employee that may have multiple payroll titles/classifications?

Example:

An employee may work as a Journeyman on Job 100, but as a Foreman on Job 200.

Applies To

PENTA for Windows

Payroll > Employees > Employee Payroll Information

For union employees, hourly rates, fringes, etc. should typically be maintained in the Payroll Class window.
Because of this, there is no need to assign every possible payroll class/pay rate combination that the employee 'could' work.
Instead, assign the employee to their most frequently used pay rate # (Journey or Foreman for example).
If an employee is setup as a Foreman, but on a specific job, the employee works as a Journeyman, users entering timecards have the ability to override the employee's pay rate # to the Journeyman #.
- NOTE: Even though the Journeyman # is not assigned to the employee in the Employee Payroll Information window, PENTA will pay the employee at the Journeyman rate and fringe package.
