V2 - Employee Shift Rates

Employee activity rates within Chronicle is a feature will which enable you to assign a specific rate to a shift, that applies to a specific employee. 

This could mean for example, if an employee gets paid extra for hours worked at a specific location, you could set up a rate against that shift for that employee specifically which when hours are clocked against it, it will raise at the specified rate. 

Employee shift rates can be created or amended using the 'Settings' option in the bottom-left of the home screen menu items and then 'Employees' into 'Employee Shift Rates'.

Applying Employee Shift Rates

In order for this functionality to work, the employee must be defined to be paid based on 'Shift. To enable this, locate the employee record that you had created the activity rate for and access the 'Payroll' tab.

Within the 'Payroll' tab, under the 'Pay Type' drop-down, define this as 'Shift'. 

Now, whenever the employee works on the specified shift, the 'Rate' that was defined will pull through onto the work record and any respective reports that include shift work.
