Custom Pay Rates for Time Records in Core HR

The Custom Pay Rates tab allows for the creation of a custom override rate for an employee. These rates apply when an employee records time a specific project, cost center or combination of project and cost centers.

If the Custom Pay Rates tab is not appearing, you can enable it from the settings of Time & Attendance. While viewing the General Settings tab, enable the "Enable Administrator Custom Pay Rate Configuration" option, then save.

Before creating a custom rate scenario, the rates intended to apply as a result of the custom configuration need to be created on the Pay Rates tab within Settings.

From the Actions drop-down menu, you can:

  • Create a custom pay rate for the selected employee.
  • Delete a custom pay rate for the selected employee.

To edit an existing custom pay rate, click the link under the Reg Pay Rate column.

  • Enter the appropriate information for the custom pay rate.
    • The Shift drop down should be specified only if creating a rate that should apply during a specified period of time in addition to selected project or cost centers.
    • Specify the Project and/or Cost Centers that are to trigger the custom rate (if applicable).
    • Specify the Regular, Overtime, and (if applicable) Double Time rates that should apply when the employee clocks into the specified project or cost centers
    • Add any Entry Notes that should be recorded with the punch
    • Set a Precedence Order if creating multiple custom rates for a single employee

  • When done, click Add Record.

Precedence Order is important when creating a custom rate that differs when crossing defined shift times. Shift custom rates should precede custom rates without shift designation.
