Rate Name

Each rate must have a name. This is the name that gets displayed on the timesheet entry screen.

Pay

The pay rate for each unit of time entered.

Charge

The charge rate for each unit of time entered.

Pay Element

Rates must have a pay element.
Pay Elements are particularly useful for PAYE processing, where they are used to map rates in RSM InTime to pay elements or job codes in a payroll system. This can be used to categorize categorise many rates into a smaller number of pay elements in the payroll system. The pay element can also control whether the rate is payable or chargeable, and whether shifts are included in the Margin report.

Duration

This is the duration of each unit minutes. For hourly rates, this value is always 60.
NOTE: If you are connected to our InPay payroll service then it is particularly important that this value is set correctly. This value is usually used to determine the number of hours that the contractor has worked. This is used in verifications on minimum wage for example.Time Period

and

    • Time & Hours: Boxes will be provided for the start time, finish time and length of break.
  • If the Time Period is set to Fixed, then you can choose:
    • Tickbox: This will show a check box for the shift. This is often used for a day-rate.
    • Decimal: A box where a decimal number can be entered will be displayed. This can be used as an alternative for entering hours, if required.

Show Comment Box

If this box is checked, then the worker or contractor can enter a comment on the timesheet for this rate.

Worker Can Select

If this box is checked, then the worker or contractor can enter time using this rate.
If the box is not checked, then only Administrators and Consultants can enter time using this rate. This can be useful if you want to control the booking of time on certain rates.

Time Pattern

Time Patterns are primarily of use to enterprise customers who have the Time Patterns and Filters module.

Frontend Ref

Backend Ref
