US Payroll - Union Pay Rates

Pgm: PYUNIRAT – Union Pay Rates Maintenance; standard Treeview path: US Payroll > Setup > Pay Rates > Union

The Union Pay Rates screen is used to define the pay rates, charge out rates, and billing rates for the employees in the company based on the unions for which they are working.

Pay Rate Details – Tab

Trade

Enter/select the trade code to specify a union pay rate applicable to that trade on the job specified within the first section.

To define the union pay rates for all trades working on this job, enter the code “ALL” within this field.

Shift

Select the shift type relevant to the union pay rate. Shifts that are checked on the E-Timesheet tab of the Company Control are allowed in this screen. Timesheets from crew or mechanic time that are posted against the specified shift type for the job use the rates defined here.

Cost Code, Category

Enter/select the cost code/category applicable to the job specified within the first section.

To define the union pay rates for all cost codes/categories related to this job, enter "*" in these fields.

Effective Date

Enter the effective date for the union pay rate being assigned. The system will begin calculating this pay rate from the date specified within this field.

Pay Rate

Enter the default union pay rate for employees whose pay rates are set up to default from the trade defined on this line.

Charge Out Rate

Enter the default charge-out rate for employees whose charge out rates are set up to default from the trade defined on this line.

Billing Rate

Enter the default billing rate for employees whose billing rates are set up to default from the trade defined on this line.

Non Factor – Checkboxes

Check these boxes to have overtime and double overtime rates determined by the values entered in the Non Factor OT Rates tab, rather than by the product of the standard rate and the multiplier value.

When these boxes are blank, the system takes the overtime or double overtime hours and multiplies them by the multiplier value defined by the rate code. Please refer to the Rate Code Maintenance screen for these values. Once this has been done, the system multiplies that number by the standard charge out rate to get the overtime charge out rate.

Prevailing Wage Pay Rate

Enter the prevailing wage rates for the trade in the union. If the ‘Prevailing Wage’ and the ‘Davis-Bacon Rules’ boxes are both checked for the job (standard Treeview path: US Payroll > Setup > Jobs > Job Work Locations), the higher rate between the prevailing wage pay rate and the standard union rate is used.

Non-Factor OT Rates – Tab

Pgm: PYUNIRAT – Union Pay Rates Maintenance; standard Treeview path: US Payroll > Setup > Pay Rates > Union – Non-Factor OT Rates tab

If the ‘Non Factor’ boxes beside the Pay Rate, Charge Out Rate, or Billing Rate fields are checked on the Pay Rate Details tab, use this tab to enter the actual rates that apply to overtime or double overtime hours.
