What is the best method for adding a premium pay to an employee's paycheck?

Posted By

We are giving a $0.50 "raise" or what I have been calling a "premium pay" to employees working a specific job in a specific cost code. I have been calculating and adding this to their checks manually (including a calculation for OT at $0.75). The process isn't difficult, but I would like to automate it if possible. Also, I don't like the way the pay is currently showing on their pay stubs and their year to date totals. Has anyone found a good way to handle something like this?

  • What about setting up a new pay ID for this.  Then you would use that pay ID instead of your regular pay ID when you need to pay them the premium pay.  You would need to add this to the employees record as well so that when you select that pay ID it will automatically have the correct pay information to pay them.  You should set it up for Reg and OT pay and add both to the employee record.

    Thanks for the input. I did set up a new pay ID, but I was only using it for the additional pay. Are you suggesting I set it up with a formula so that it calculates the full extra pay? That might work better. Our payroll is imported from a time keeping system, so would I just need to locate those specific hours and change the pay ID? How would it look on the paystub? Would it be a separate line item?

    Thanks again!
