Additional Details on Position 15

  • If Position 15 is set to 'O', all information on the Additional Pay Rates set on the Salary Codes window can be overwritten on the employee effective dated Salary. If no overwrites exist at the time the employee is assigned with the Salary Code, the rates are displayed as per the Salary Code. The user can revert back to the Salary Code rate any overwrites applied to individual employee Salary records.
    • Once the Salary Code record becomes effective, overwrites will be kept on the employee. This will only be removed if done manually on the corresponding record using the Salary window, or via Mapper using the 'blank' option on the Additional Rates (where it is expected to be cleared, the Salary Code default assigned rate will be used).

    • Although all the Pay Rates can be overridden, the Pay Rate Frequency cannot be overridden.

    • Salary Step Processing retains existing overrides after stepping up and the report will show that the overrides exist.

    • Applying Payroll Defaults with a Salary Code via Position Change also retains existing overrides.

  • If position 15 is set to 'N', the additional Pay Rates defined on the Salary Codes window will always be used for payment, and there will be no possibility for the user to overwrite this rates on the employee effective dated Salary record.
  • Ensure that the value selected in PAYRF is set correctly. If it is not set, left 'Blank', or set to anything else other than 'O' or 'N', it will default to behaving as though the value has been set to 'N'.
  • If, after setting PAYRF Position 15 to 'O', and overwrites on employee additional rates have been performed, the overwrites will not be lost when Position 15 is set to 'N'. It will be possible to revert back overwritten rates to the original Salary Code rates on the Salary window on an individual employee by employee basis. However, this can no longer be modified as this will become read-only.
