The Pay Class form is used to define Pay Classes and their associated Pay Levels.
A Pay Class includes rules regarding Minimum and Maximum Payroll and Labor Rates. A Pay Class will have one or more Pay Levels, and each level can have different Payroll and Labor Rates. For example, an employee in the "Welder" Pay Class could earn a Payroll Rate of 15.25 at Pay Level 1 and a Payroll Rate of 18.50 at Pay Level 2.
Pay Classes and Pay Levels are grouped into Pay
Scales. You will need to use the Pay
