Manage Pay Types

Use the Manage Pay Types screen to enable or define certain pay type characteristics.

Pay types control the way in which labor cost is calculated on the Manage Timesheets screen. Use pay types on the Manage Timesheets screen to specify premium or straight-time rates of pay. Depending on the pay type, you can add additional amounts to the calculated labor cost. In addition, the Pay Types table controls whether a pay type is eligible for overtime premium recasting and/or weighted average rate calculations.

Note: You must set up pay types before they can be used in timesheet entry. The Pay Types table must also contain the default pay type you want to use on the Configure Labor Settings screen before you can complete Configure Labor Settings. You can add to this table at any time, and you can establish an unlimited number of pay types.

The Manage Pay Types screen allows you to link pay types for pay stub consolidation under a parent pay type. If you establish a parent/child link on this screen, when you print a paycheck or payment advice in Costpoint, the child pay type earnings and hours will "roll-up" to the parent pay type. This allows for less pay types to print on the pay stub. If you assign child pay types to a parent pay type, all earnings and hours from the child pay types will be reported under the parent pay type only. Use the Link Pay Types for Paystub Consolidation subtask on this screen for this feature.

Warning: The pay types will only be linked on the pay stubs generated by Costpoint Print Paychecks screen and Print Payment Advices screen. This link will not consolidate timesheet data or the pay type earnings history in Manage Employee Earnings History.
Note: The UI profile you are assigned may have caused some fields to be hidden on your screen. For more information, contact your system administrator.
