For the past 10+ years, we've used the same pay rate table in payroll, making changes to certified classes and wage rates as required. The table allows you to input job, certified class, certified?, pay rate, base rate.

For reference: I currently import payroll with all of the above information, plus a cost code, category, WC code, WC state, state, units, and date.

We are looking into implementing HH2, and after several conversations with their implementor, they don't have any way to make changes on their end to a category or WC code associated with an entry.

Looking at the pay rate table setup, there is the option to add category and WC code on each line - a little extra work, but I was very hopeful that it would solve my problems.

However, it did not. I get the error (whether manually entering or importing) "The Category set up for this Pay ID is invalid or has not been previously used for the Job that has been entered". It has been used for the job multiple times, so it appears the issue is the Pay ID, which does NOT have a category associated with it in the setup. I am not able to enter the category in the setup because it changes based on job vs. shop labor, regular/overtime.

Any suggestions? I was really hoping a new pay rate table would have solved the issue since I could have entered all the information I needed based on the certified class. Does anyone else use HH2 and also use categories and WC codes and have a solution?

Thanks!
