We have shift table and eligibility groups assigned to various pay codes. This is used to establish the premium that should be paid for the pay code. It was our understanding that if someone had the pay code, but was not part of the eligibility group they would not receive the premium or any pay. Instead, what is happening is they do not receive the rate associated with the pay code, they actually get their base pay rate. This is a huge problem. The premium rates for the pay code are much less than the employee's base rate.
Support has indicated we need to create an eligibility group for all non-eligible situations and associate it with the pay code and use the rate of 0.000001. While that rate is small and much better than the actual base rate, it is still inaccurate and can potentially lead to a payment.
Ideally, we would like to use the rate of 0.00. This would ensure nothing is paid if the pay code is used in error.
I am kindly asking for endorsements on ER 121578 if you feel this could benefit your payroll team as well.
Thank you!
