Working with 5-Payroll > 5-3 Payroll Management > 5-3-4 Paygroups > Use higher rate

Use higher rate

When you click Use Higher Rate (Emp or Paygrp) from the Options menu in 5-2-2 Payroll Records, Sage 100 Contractor compares the hourly wage in the employee record to the hourly wage in the paygroup, then inserts the highest wage.

For example, if an individual carpenter’s regular rate of pay is $40 per hour, but the regular rate in the paygroup for carpenters is $35 per hour, with the Use Higher Rate (Emp or Paygrp) option selected, the overtime differential is based on $40 per hour individual carpenter’s rate rather than $35 per hour paygroup rate.
