How to enter a Payrate Template.

Pay rate templates enable you to create pre-defined sets of pay rates which can then be applied to new and existing employees. 

Click on Settings and then Billable Companies.

Once you clicked on your billable company click on Payrate Templates.

Click on New Template to create a new payrate template. (Or to edit an existing template you can click on the pencil box on the right corner of the template.)

Then fill in the below details and save.

Step 1- Name your template.

Step 2- Add in your Super Hours (The number of hours paid with super per week.) Select the box if you want the Super to paid on all hours.

Step 3- Super % and Workers Compensation % and Payroll Tax %.

Step 4- You may not choose to fill in step 3. Instead add all the overheads and Super % together and add that amount in the base rate field.

Step 5- Add any lunch break details and meal allowance details.

Step 6- Add Shift type (These will populate from the Shift Types you added in Settings)

Below is an example of adding in the Super %, Workers comp %, and Payroll Tax %.
