How do I assign pay rates by Duty?

Assign base pay rates by Duty to streamline the budgeting process.


Prior to utilizing the budget tool effectively, it is essential to review the pay rates of your employees to ensure accuracy.

It's important to note that employees who share a duty may not have the same pay rate. Factors like length of service or performance reviews can lead to variations in pay rates among employees.

Be sure to check the pay rates for employees as you go along.  Pay rates are not static or uniform.   Rates usually occur on a spectrum and are based on many factors.  It is not one-size fits all.  The Budget Planner will be most effective if the data is correct and up to date.
