(Hours Class Group) Details

The Details tab of the Hours Class Group form is used to configure each hourly classification inside an Hours Class Group. An hourly classification uses a coefficient, which defines how hourly rates are calculated. The coefficient is the multiplier of the base pay rate. For example, a 1.5 coefficient means the hour is paid at time-and-a-half, a 2.0 coefficient means the hour is paid at double time, etc. The configured hours classifications are used for classification options in pay rules.

Note that a person's base rate is defined on the Pay Class form and assigned to the person via the Pay Scale tab of the Employee form.

The application includes a SYSTEM DEFAULT Hours Class Group.
