About piece pay

Piece pay can be used both for the 5-5-1 Daily Payroll Entry payroll method and the 5-5-2 Payroll Records payroll method.

For either method, enter the Pay Type, Hours (hours worked to complete the pieces), Piece Rate (rate per piece) and Pieces to calculate the Hourly Rate for Pieces. Entering the hours is optional. If you do not enter the number of hours worked for that day, the Hourly Rate for Pieces will not calculate.

Important!  

• If you are entering the pay information in the Daily Payroll, the Hourly Rate for Pieces will not display until a timecard has been created for that employee.
• The pay information must have a Pay Type of 7-Piece to be entered as piece pay.
