Establish a Pay Rate List

Introduction

Payrate records within Brevity are accessed through the Administration> 5. Pricelist sub menu. The payrate record is essentially an internal payroll record used to define either the fixed, day or hourly rate of pay for one or more service types assigned into the pricelist by the organisation. An example of a standard payrate pricelist created and maintained by the organisation would relate with sleepover payments.

Additional Information

Payrate records once established within the pricelist are available for assignment within the employee profile pricelist field. The presence of a charge rate pricelist will impact the service cost associated with the client service. As opposed to using the $value listed within the hourly rate field, the service cost will be calculated using the rate associated with pricelist service type charge rate matched to the service schedule service type for the client service that the employee has been rostered to.
