Premium Pay

Premium pay will display on a timecard line item if there is a premium attached to the employee record (PR> Maintenance> Employee> Premiums tab) and that employee qualifies for the premium.

An employee qualifies for a premium if all of the following are true:

• There is a level break on the premium that applies to the employee.
  • Level breaks on premiums are set up by the number of months the employee has been employed based on the anniversary date (PR> Maintenance> Employee> General tab> Anniversary Date field).
  • You can see the level breaks on a premium using the Premium Maintenance window (PR> Maintenance> Premium).
• The pay code attached to the premium is attached to the timecard.
  • A premium will only display on a timecard line item if that line item is attached to a pay code that is also attached to the premium.
  • Pay codes are attached to premiums using the Premium Maintenance window (PR> Maintenance> Premium> Pay Codes section).

The premium amounts will display in the Premiums Amount column on each timecard line item on the Timecards tab of the Timecard Maintenance window (PR> Computer Checks> Timecards). You can also expand each timecard line item to see the premium codes that created the premium amount. For example, if the Premiums Amount represents two premiums, expand the timecard line item to see the premium amount of each premium applied to the timecard line item.

If a premium is set up as an aggregate amount, the premium amount will not display in the Premiums Amount column and the premium code will not display if you click the Expand button next to the timecard line item. Premiums are set up as aggregate premiums using the Premium Maintenance window (PR> Maintenance> Premiums> Select Yes in the Aggregate drop-down menu). Premium pay that is set up as an aggregate amount will display on the System Timecards sub-tab on the Timecards Maintenance window (PR> Computer Checks> Timecards> Select an employee on the Selection sub-tab).
