This window is used to enter wage rate and fringe rate information from the government-supplied wage determination sheet. Information is based on the union, county and Standard Occupational Code (Fed Class Code). Fringe rate is an hourly accumulation of all the fringe benefits paid to a typical employee in a classification (union or non-union). Microsoft Dynamics GP > Tools > Setup > Job Cost > Payroll Setup > Prevailing Wage and Fringe Rate.

  • Rate Class: Choose
    Choose the rate class for which you will be entering wage and fringe rates.
  • Union Code: This
    This can be any union; it does not have to be assigned to the selected rate class in the Rate Class Detail window. This field is NOT required for non-union contractors.
  • Start Date: Enter
    Enter a starting date for entering wage and fringe rates in this window. The default is the user date.
  • Filter Date: Use
    Use this field to filter the wage/fringe rate entries that appear in the window. Wage/fringe rate entries appear only if this Filter Date falls within the start and end dates of the entry. If there are multiple entries (rows) for the same federal classification, but with different start dates, only the most recent entry will appear, assuming the Filter Date falls within the date range of the entry.
  • Federal Classification: Sometimes
    Sometimes referred to as the Standard Occupational Code.
  • Rates (straight time, overtime, and double time): Enter
    Enter the wage rate for straight time, as supplied on the wage determination sheet. The overtime and double time are calculated automatically; you can change these amounts, if necessary.
  • Fringes (straight time, overtime, and double time): Enter
    Enter the fringe rates for straight time, overtime, and double time - as supplied on the wage determination sheet. This will be an accumulated amount of several benefit categories. The default for overtime and double time is the same as straight time, however, you can override these defaults.
  • Start Date: The
    The date that the wages for this federal classification code takes effect for this employee.
  • End Date: The
    The system automatically fills in an end date as soon as you create a subsequent entry for the same federal classification code with a different start date (you cannot enter a date manually). For example, if wages for a fed code go into effect on 1/10/2010, but will increase on 6/1/2010, as soon as you enter the wage line for 6/1/2010, the End Date for the previous entry will be set to a day before, in this case, 5/30/2010.

    You can choose existing benefits, one by one, using the lookup (same lookup accessed through the Payroll module) - OR - you can create one benefit that is an accumulation of the individual benefits for this employee. You can give your own name to this new benefit; it does not have to be an existing benefit name. If you choose benefits individually, the system will add up the total automatically. If you already know the total benefit amount for this employee, you can create one new benefit name and enter the total in one line.

    The date that the benefit takes effect for this employee.
