What This Process Does

  • Determines how the Rate will be Calculated for the Gross Definition.
  • Allows for the Gross Rate to be Paid on any Job that has the Gross Definition.

Best Practices

  • Gross Rates are the combination of a Rate Master (Rate Identification) and Gross Definition (Gross ID) which define how that rate is calculated for each Gross ID. Gross Rates can be defined differently for different Gross IDs (Gross IDs are assigned to each employee job).
  • Any Rates to be paid on a specific Job MUST be added to the Gross Identification which is assigned to that Job. The Rate will then be available to all Jobs using the Gross ID.
  • The Gross Definition Maintain Screen allows Rates to be Viewed, Edited, or Added.
