How do I apply a rate change to an hourly rate?

Change the hourly rate on a pay code.

A rate is a charge, payment, or price fixed according to a ratio, scale, or standard. When the ratio, scale, or standard changes, run Calculate Rate Changes to increase or decrease an hourly rate by a percentage.

Note: If the employee is tied to a pay schedule, you must modify the pay schedule, not the hourly rate, to adjust the pay rate.


Calculating a rate change for a pay code

1. Open Connect Payroll > Employees > Calculate Rate Changes.

2. Click to select the option titled Hourly Rate.

3. Click to select the field titled Rate Change.

4. To increase the rate, enter the percentage to increase the rate. To decrease the rate, type the percentage to decrease the rate followed by a minus sign (-).

Example: "10" to increase a pay code or "10-" to decrease a pay code.


5. Click GO (CTRL+G).

The rate change is calculated and applied to employees who are assigned to an hourly rate.
