Step 3: Set up Rate Class Detail

You can set up multiple rate classes for multiple position/pay code/deduction-benefit category combinations. You can enter special rates for benefits and deductions using either a fixed dollar amount or percentage of gross wages. These amounts override any rates set up in the Employee Deduction Maintenance window (for deductions) and the Employee Benefit Maintenance window (for benefits).

Note
You cannot delete a rate class if it is assigned to an employee, a job, an uncommitted TimeTrack transaction, or an uncommitted Microsoft Dynamics GP Payroll transaction. You can delete an entire rate class (and all its records) if a rate class is selected and none of the individual records are selected.

Step 4: Assign Rate Classes to Union Employees

You can assign a rate class to each union employee. Each employee can be assigned to only one rate class.

  1. Select Microsoft Dynamics GP > Tools > Setup > Job Cost > Payroll Setup > Employee Codes.
  2. Enter an Employee ID.
  3. Enter a Rate Class. The Union Code field automatically defaults to the union code associated with that rate class.
  4. Enter a Federal Classification Code.
  5. Select Save. You can also assign a rate class to an employee in the following ways:
    • Assign a rate class to a job that an employee is associated with. This overrides the rate class in the Employee Maintenance Codes window. See Assign rate classes to jobs (below).
    • Assign the rate class to payroll transactions. The rate class is assigned to the employee for that transaction only, and overrides the rate class assigned in the Job Maintenance and Employee Maintenance Codes windows.
