Pay grades in Droppah allow you to manage base pay rates and overtime rules for groups of employees, ensuring your roster costs are always on point.
To add or edit a pay grade, head to Manage > Pay Grades. Click on an existing pay grade to edit it, or click the New Pay Grade button to create a pay grade.
When setting up a pay grade you can apply the following settings:
Pay Grade Name - Set a name for the pay grade. This should be easily identifiable, so you can tell which pay grade is which.
Base Rate - The base pay rate that should apply to employees on this pay grade.
Overtime Ruleset (optional) - The Overtime Ruleset that should apply for any employees on this pay grade, if applicable.
People - The people this pay grade applies to.
You can also view or change the pay grade that applies to an employee by clicking into their record in the People tab.
Frequently Asked Questions
Changing the base rate on a pay grade will update the base rate for all employees in the pay grade, provided they don't have a manually overridden rate (see 'Can I set a different rate for some employees?').
The new base rate will apply for any shifts/time entries that are created or saved from then on.
Yes, if you have some employees who have a different pay rate than the Base Rate for their pay grade this can be set manually on their record via the People tab. When an employee has a different pay rate to their pay grade this will be displayed in the pay grade, as seen here:
Additionally, if you set manual rates on any of your employees before you add them to a pay grade via Manage > Pay Grades, their manual rate will be maintained if it's higher than the Base Rate of the pay grade.
If you wish to enforce the Base Rate from a pay grade for an employee who previously had an adjusted rate, navigate to the People tab and select the appropriate pay grade - the employee's Pay Rate will be automatically updated to suit.
The new overtime ruleset will automatically apply for any employees in the pay grade. The new rules will be applied for employees who have any shifts/time entries created or saved from then on. If any existing time entries have the old rules applied, you'll just need to open and resave one of the employee's entries for the week if you wish for the new rules to apply.
No, the overtime ruleset on Work Groups will take priority. If there are no overtime rulesets that apply from the work group, then the overtime ruleset from the pay grade will be applied.
No, employees can only belong to a single pay grade. Adding an employee to a pay grade will automatically remove any other pay grades.
