9.8.3 Employee Pay Sequence Maintenance (09105m)

The object of Employee Pay Sequence Maintenance is to allow the generalised employee work classification group [9-10-8] of pay sequence codes to be modified to the individual's real employment rates.

All items that go to make up a payrun are referred to as Pay Sequences ie: hourly rates, day rates, weekly rates, monthly rates, piece rates, meal, travelling, tool, wet under foot etc. including on cost items such as pay accruals and deduction items such as tax etc.

In Employee Master Maintenance [9-8-1 Q15], an employee is given a work classification on exiting the window. The pay person is asked if they wish to set up an individual's pay sequence codes. If YES they are given pay codes as 9-10-9 and other codes per the tax and pay method flags. If you have not completed the taxation and payroll master screen, you cannot have pay sequence codes.

This selection accesses an individual employees allowances file. This section is used when altering a certain Sequence in an employee's file or adding a new Sequence to a particular employee.

The pay sequences permitted for an employee are entered through this program.  If a Sequence is not entered here, then it cannot be activated during timesheet maintenance. Once an employee has has been paid a Sequence, then there will be an entry in his Sequence file which is updated for all future payments made on that Sequence.

1. Employee RPC
   Enter the code of the employee you wish to alter.
2. Pay Sequence
3. Factor for Adjustment
   The factor used to multiply the standard Sequence rate to create an employees individual Sequence rate. Usually always 1 unless you wish to multiply the normal rate (as set up in the Master Sequence File) attached to this Sequence  then enter the number that this rate is to be multiplied  by.
4. Value for Adjustment
   The amount is added/subtracted to the adjusted Sequence  rate (3 above) to create an individual Sequence rate. Enter the amount you wish to increase  or decrease the Sequence by. eg. If you wanted to pay a employee an extra $2.00/hour above the award rate this is where it is entered. If you are adding an Sequence to an employees file and do not wish to alter the value - skip this field by entering return.
5. Timesheet Control 537
6. Print on Pay Packets? - Y/N
   Usually always yes, unless the Sequence represents an accrual (such as provision for payroll tax) in which case it is not imperative for the employee to know and should not be displayed on the wage packet.  Y to print on Pay Slip ('N' to suppress printing).
7. Active? - Y/N

After any adjustments have been made, you may wish to run an Employee Sequence Report which is part of the Employee Report [9-8-9].
