Description: In this topic, the user will learn about pay rates. The Pay Rates functionality allows a user to add a new pay rate and specify the date range for which that pay rate is valid for. Pay Rates can overlap if enabled, so an employee can select the correct rate for the shift that they are working. The rates set with no end date will be effective until an end date is specified. The end date for a current pay rate will auto-populate when a new pay rate is added.

Role Required: Super User, Supervisor
