For those workplaces, such as restaurants and hospitals, that have employees who work in more than job or department and who are paid different pay rates, either assign multiple positions to the employee with Employee Position records, or define multiple rates with Employee Pay Rate records. Consider the requirements of the entity to determine the most effective way to record an employee’s multiple rates.
The Employee Position Detail records and the Employee Master record feed the Employee Pay Rates Detail. If Employee Position Details are defined to split distributions, make any changes on the Employee Position Detail records. The Pay Rates Detail does not feed information back to the Position Detail or the master record.
Special Considerations: When determining whether to use Position details or Pay Rate details, consider the access that different roles have. Payroll often lacks access to the Position Detail, while Human Resources often lacks access to the Pay Rates Details.
