I have many employees to set up under various award rates. When I set up an hourly wage item it doesn't give me an option to put in the hourly rate of pay. I would like to set up all the award rates and then when I add a new employee I can allocate them to that rate. That way when the award rate goes up I can just change it in the payroll items list and not have to edit each employee's pay rate. Is this possible??

    Hi Suzanne,

    Welcome to the Reckon Community.

    You can set a default rate for an award by going to Lists > Award > Double click on an award to edit > Award Payment Details > Create a Classification and rate there.

    Now you will need to edit an employee then under Company tab > Select the Classification & Award accordingly.

    Now go to Pay Rates tab under edit employee, make sure the "Use Award Pay Rates" is selected.

    Regards,

    Hi Suzanne, are you asking about Payroll Premier the stand alone payroll package, or Reckon Accounts and the payroll is integrated? If Payroll Premier you can follow Hoang's steps, if it is Reckon Accounts, unfortunately this is not an option. If you have any further queries, feel free to email me directly at sally@samsolutions.com.au Kind regards, Sally

    Hi Sally,

    You are absolutely correct, thank you for pointing it out. It is not possible in Reckon Accounts and this method is only for Payroll Premier.

    Thanks Hoang & Sally,

    I am using Reckon Accounts in this instance. I do use Payroll Premier with another client and it is a shame the payroll in Reckon is not more similar to that.

    Hi Suzanne, yes there are pro's and con's to both! I personally prefer Reckon Accounts payroll, but there are some features in Payroll Premier which are very handy! To check that you have entered them correctly you can run an Employee Contact list report and add columns for their Earnings rates. I hope this helps at least? Kind regards, Sally
