Step 1 – Add Schedule Name

  • Full Salary – a rate that is an annual amount

  • Hourly Rate – an hourly amount
  • Hourly Base – a rate that is an index that is multiplied by an hourly base amount
  • Daily Rate – a daily rate amount

  • Percentage – a rate that is entered as a percentage that is multiplied by a base amount of any type.
• Base Pay Assoc. (required for Rate Types of Index Rate, Hourly Base, Daily Base and Percentage) – Select from the dropdown list.
• Salary Rounding Override (optional) – Enter a rounding level if different than the default.  Rounding refers to number of decimal places in a salary and is typically set to 0 (round to the nearest dollar) or 2 (round to the nearest penny).  See the note at the bottom of the window to see what the default is.

Step 2 – Add Schedule Steps

Select the new schedule name that was added in the step above.  Click on the Add Step/Index button at the top of the list of salary schedule steps.  Enter the following:

• Step (Required) – Enter the step number.  Some schedules may show a rate change between step 10 and 15, for example.  If this is the case, you still need to enter the steps 11 through 14 so that when you run a step increase process for employee salaries, a salary rate will be known.
• Step Mask (Optional, will default to Step number) – A step mask is an alternative step number that might be needed as a merge field for contracts or salary notices.  In the example described under the Step section above, the step mask could be entered as 10 for steps 11 through 14.
• Current Rate – Enter the rate for the current year.
• Next Year Rate – Enter the next year rate if it is different than the  current year rate that was automatically entered.

Repeat the process to add all the steps of the schedule.

Step 3 – Add Salary Base

If the salary is indexed, then a base amount must be added if it is not already set up.  Click on the Add Salary Base button at the top of the list of salary bases.  Enter a name for the base and then enter the base amounts for the current year and the next year.
