This feature of ETP is used when a group of employees are due to have their pay rates increased. It is much faster and easier to run an Employee Rate Increase rather than going into each individual employee's profile and changing the rates manually.
Follow the procedure below to complete an 'Employee Rate Increase Run'.
Check the box labeled 'Create New Rate Increase Records File'.
Select the employees who are to receive the rate increase.
Enter the date the rate increase is to take effect.
Specify whether the rate increase is percentage based or a flat rate increase.
Enter the amount of the increase.
Click the OK button to begin the pay increase process.
Once the rate increase run is completed, the new rates generated can now be manipulated if required.
Check the box labeled 'Edit Rate Increase Records' and click the OK button. The Edit Rate Records window appears:
The choices here are ADD, EDIT, or DELETE records. When the ADD/EDIT buttons are clicked, the following window will appear:
To add a record, click the ADD button, enter the required information in the pop-up window, and click the OK button to save the information.
To edit a record, highlight the employee record to be modified, then click the EDIT button. Make the necessary changes and click OK to save the information.
To delete a record, highlight the record and click the DELETE button.
Click EXIT to return to the Employee Rate Increase Run window:
To Preview the Rate Increase Records generated by ETP, check the appropriate box and specify whether you want to preview the report or actually print a hard copy of the report.
The final step in the process is to POST the Rate Increase Records to update the databases.
Put a check in the box labeled 'Post Rate Increase Records'
Click the OK button.
When the posting is complete, the message box below will appear:
Click OK to finish the process, then Exit the Employee Rate Increase Run window. To check that the increases are in place, go into the employee(s) profile. Under the Rate History tab, the newly posted rate should be displayed along with the 'effective' date.
