Add a different hourly rate

There may be times when you would like to pay your employee at a different hourly rate — for regular pay, overtime, and so on. The first hourly rate is called Regular Pay. You can customize each additional rate to suit your needs by providing names such as overtime or holiday pay.

When you add a new hourly pay rate for an employee, it is available for all other hourly employees.

To add another hourly rate:

1. In the left navigation bar, click Employees.
2. Click the employee’s name, and then click Edit employee.
3. Under How much do you pay this employee? click Add additional pay types if you haven't selected any other pay types, or click the pencil icon if you have.
4. If you've already set up the hourly pay rate for another employee, select the checkbox for that pay rate.
5. Click Add an hourly rate to enter a new rate. Give the rate a name, and enter a dollar amount for the hourly rate.
6. Click Done.

If you have other employees who use this same rate, click their names and add the new pay rate and pay type to their profiles.

The next time you run payroll, enter the hours worked for each of the hourly rates.
