Secondary Wage Groups
With Secondary Wage Groups, you can assign multiple employee wages for each wage group that you define. You can then reference the wage groups directly by policies such as Overtime Policies, Premium Policies, or Absence Policies. Secondary wage groups gives you complete flexibility in paying employees accurately for the time that they work in multiple jobs. This feature is used when you need to pay employees their own specific rate, which cannot be determined by using the policies Rate multiplier on the employee's default wage.
For example, if an employee gets paid $10 per hour for most of the time they work, but gets $11.27 per hour for work in "Department A" and $12.33 per hour for work in "Department B," you setup two secondary wage groups, one for each department. In addition, you would configure two shift differential premium policies that specify when an employee works in a specific department. Then they get paid the rate that you associated with the secondary wage group(s) instead of their default wage.
This feature may be confused with other group functionality such as Employee Groups, Job Groups or Task Groups. However, Secondary Wage Groups should only be created if you need to pay employees different rates for performing duties in different Branches, Departments, Jobs or Tasks.
