Checklist: Setting Up Pay Rate Tables

If you are new to Payroll, you may find it helpful to review the setup checklist for pay rate tables.

Step Description Location
1 Enable the feature for your enterprise by setting the Enable Pay Rate Tables option to Yes . Settings > Accounting > Labor Options
2 If you want the ability to set multiple overtime rates using effective dates, set the Overtime Percent in Cost/Pay Rate Tables option to Yes.
3 Specify full security access to pay rate tables, for each role you want to grant the right to create and modify pay rate tables. To do this, set the Labor Cost Rates/Amounts field to Full Access on the Accounting tab of Roles Security Settings for each role. Accounting tab of Settings > Security > Roles
4 Add pay rate tables. Settings > Rate Tables
5 Specify a Pay Rate Method and Rate Table for each project that you want to associate with a Pay Rate table on the Time & Expense tab of the Projects hub.

If your project has multiple work breakdown structure levels (phases, and or phases and tasks), you can override the project level by selecting a Pay Rate Method and Rate Table from the lower level. Vantagepoint uses the table set at the lowest level.

Hubs > Projects > Project > Time & Expense tab
6 Specify a Pay Rate Method and Rate Table for each employee that you want to associate with a Pay Rate table on the Time & Expense tab of the Employees hub.

In the hierarchy that Vantagepoint uses to determine an employees pay rate, a rate table selected at the project level (from the Projects hub) will override a rate set for an employee in the Employees hub.
