Parity Rate

A field to capture the parity rate for the agreement.

  • The Parity Rate field will be visible when the Country Hierarchy AWR Active flag is checked on.

  • The field must be entered with a value.

  • It is most likely that the Margin Markup Type will be the same value for the parity pay rate as for the pre-parity rate e.g. your margin is 12.5%. The percentage will be based on the job order’s parity rate when they reach parity. This just gives you the opportunity to decide if you want to increase your margin when a job order reaches parity.

  • The Parity Rate field is not enabled where the Margin Markup Type is Use Other Rate Dollar Margin or Bill Rate Formula.

  • The Parity Rate value cannot be less than the bill rate value.

The Parity Rate field will be enabled to edit from between the date your system is upgraded to the date the next interpretation occurs that uses the agreement to allow you to avoid creating a new validity period.

However, if you do update the parity rate to something different and a payee has reached parity already, the system will assess those timesheets and adjust the pay automatically, which may not be the desired result.
