Rate Minimum Value in Pay Rate Rules

Description

A new numeric field labelled as defined in Maintenance > Hierarchy > Country Settings > Rate Minimum Label, has been added to the Rates and Rules > Pay Agreements > Pay Agreement > Secondary Interpretation > Pay Rate Rules > Pay Rate Rule Entry screen, from this release on, to allow an additional numeric value to be entered for a pay rate of type Flat Rate.

An example of this is highlighted in the example below.

Open

If a value is keyed against a pay rate, the value will show in any related Job's Rate Matrix items. The following applies to the Rate Minimum field:

• it is not mandatory

• it is available for pay rate rules that are a Rate Type of 'Flat Rate'. The field is also editable where flagged as Calculation Only.

• Where the rate rule is flagged as 'Top Up Rates', Rate Minimum field is not editable.

• Where the Pay Rate Rule item has a Rate Minimum value stored, if it is used in a subsequent Calculation Rate Type, on display in the Job Order's rates, the Rate Minimum value will also have the calculation applied.

• Where the Pay Rate Rule item has a Rate Minimum value stored, if it is used in a subsequent Top Up Rate, the Rate Minimum value will display in the rate

• is locked down (un-editable) once there have been transactions against the pay rate rule.

The rate minimum that applies to a pay item is visible in the agreement rates matrix on a job order in Recruitment Manager. For more information, see Job - Minimum Rate.

Benefits

This enhancement provides an agency with the ability to enter in a comparison rate value. For example, if the Agency pays above an award rate, the Rate Minimum field may be used to store the actual award rate, so a person viewing the Rate Matrix in the Job can see the difference between the two.

Configuration

A Rate Minimum can be added to pay rate rules by opening the relevant pay rate rule in the Rates and Rules > Pay Agreements > Pay Agreement > Secondary Interpretation > Pay Rate Rules > Pay Rate Rule Entry screen and keying the rate minimum against the relevant sub-rules on the pay rate rule, as shown in the example above.
