Pay Scheme Uplift (Pay Rate Increase)

The following 06 min 22 sec clip shows the enhancements made through the pay rates area that enables a user to make adhoc, bulk updates to employee pay rates using the new pay scheme rule. This change ensures that pay scheme uplifts (pay increases) can be executed at a Payroll Run Type, and Site Group level from a central location, rather than having to go into each employee record and manually adjust their pay rate. Only those employees for the chosen Payroll Run Types and selected Site Groups will be eligible for the Pay Rate increase when the scheduled uplift takes place. Other employees will remain the same as the rules do not target them.

Note: That in order to apply a minimum pay scheme ensure that the Uplift Min. Wage? for your employees is selected, on your employees pay details record (Set Up | Employees | Pay Details) Also, ensure that the employees details for their Payroll Run and Payroll Period are up to date.

Note: These changes will not affect the desktop client. It is recommended that customers do not use the Desktop Client for this feature in the future, only the web client.

The way that Timegate Web handles adhoc personal rate pay increases has been enhanced so that uplifts can be executed at a Payroll Run Type, and Site Group level. This increased flexibility will enable customers to more easily implement uplifts within Timegate Web when a uniform pay-rate increase is required across multiple payrolls and across differing site groups for example. Additionally, the time taken to undertake processing uplifts has greatly reduced with the introduction of this version of Timegate Web.

The solution comprises two linked areas in Timegate Web (accessible via Admin | Finance and controlled by their own individual security features to restrict access)

  • Pay Scheme Rule (this replaces the pre-version 20.4 Minimum Wage Scheme page) - where pay schemes can be created for use with different payroll run types and site groups

  • Pay Rate Uplift (a new page) - where Pay Scheme Rules are applied and audited
