Adding Differential Pay
When a biweekly employee has worked in a Task that requires differential pay, you will need to add a new row to identify the reporting code for the differential pay. Differential Pay is given to accommodate a specific working condition, such as working shifts other than a normal schedule, performing work that is hazardous to health, or working at a higher level job for a particular shift. Differential pay is also provided to cover meal allowances for certain unions.
The differential reason codes available for an employee are based on that employee's salary plan and rules group.

Note: If the employee will be entering their own time, the employee's default profile must have Allow Time Entry checked.

Tip! Differential pay is entered only for biweekly employees.
To enter hours for differential pay:
- Click on the Add Differential button for the week in which the employee worked at the different task. A new row will be added for that week, with a reason code button labeled UNDEF.
- Click on the UNDEF button to display the reason codes for the differential pay. The reason codes for job differentials are based on the employee's salary plan and rules group.
- Highlight the appropriate reason code, and click on the Select button to select the reason code and return to the time sheet. The reason code button will show the code for the selected job differential.
- Enter the hours for the job differential, but do not adjust the regular hours. For example, if a painter works an 8 hour day, but 2 of those hours were on a 45 foot flag pole, you would enter 8 in the REGHRS row for the day, and 2 in the differential row for the day.

Note: Time is entered in decimal format. For example, two and a half hours is entered as 2.5, and a seven and a quarter hour day is entered at 7.25 hours.
