Pay entries

All the pay entries I do are variations. I would save time if the pay rates entered for each employee stayed as defaults until overwritten.

I have always sorted report lists by roll number believing that to be the best method.

In the programme I can select Alphabetical or Roll number in the Employee List. I would like to have the choice in pay slip display / print mode and all other reports.

Re: Pay entries

George, you can put a standard rate on the employee screen by keeping the hours per period as zero.

Then create a new payment code called eg PAY, with a description of Payment (or whatever), sequence of 50, pre tax/ni/pension, and tick the "Variable payment box". On the advanced tab fill in a rate of 1.0, and tick the "Rate is multiplier" box, and tick the Hours/Rate/Pay payslip box.

Then, whenever you use that PAY payment code, it will automatically get the rate from the employee front tab.

We're not quite sure what your problem is with the report sort sequences. All the reports that you can launch from the payroll form should sort by the chosen method, either alphabetical or by works number/roll number. If that isn't working for you please let us know... we'd need to investigate.

Re: Pay entries

Thanks for the step by step to setting variation pay rates.

My problem with the sort options was that I had seen and set the option in Payroll / Advanced and saw the Employee list sorted in Roll number. I overlooked the sort option in the Payroll / Reporting screen that was defaulted to Alphabetical. Thanks again for the prompt support.

George.
