Enter the Employee Payroll ID. This is the unique Employee ID from your payroll system.

Enter a Payrate for the Employee. The system will calculate the OT Payrate and Holiday OT based on the configuration in Administration > Masters > Configuration > Rate Factor for All Employees. These rate fields are editable if you do not pay OT or Holiday rates for certain roles/services. Holidays must be added in each year under Administration > Masters > Holidays.

You can also indicate here if the Payrate is for taking care of a relative under Pay Rate for a Relative.

Edit Employee Payroll Tab

When setting up the employee pay rates there are multiple Payroll Categories to choose from:

  • Fixed Hourly: Employee has one fixed hourly rate no matter what role they are working in (e.g. an employee is a Caregiver and does billing for the Agency and receives the same pay rate for both roles.)

  • Reimbursement: This will allow for reimbursement (mileage or general reimbursement) in session-based services on the app. Reimbursements must be configured under Administration > Masters > Non-Billable Activities) for staff to use.

  • Salaried: No payroll is calculated for employees that are set up as Salaried. These employees can complete visits and document the time with Clients but are ignored for payroll.

  • Variable Activity: Use this option when an employee should be paid for non-billable time that is different than the default rate for the activity (e.g. the default rate for training is $14.00, but this Employee makes $14.75 for training). Non-billable activities must be configured under Administration > Masters > Non-Billable Activities to use.

  • Variable Service:Use this option when Employees can make different rates depending upon the role they are performing, the services they are providing, the allocation for the services, or the client that they are working with.

    For example:

    Employee A works with Client 1 and 2 for PCA service. For Client 1, payrate is $14 and for Client 2, payrate is $15 an hour.

    Or

    Employee B works for Client 3 who has PCA and Homemaking. For PCA, payrate is $15 and for homemaking the payrate is $13.
