I have employees that are going to work day shift for 7 days and nights shift for 7 days. When on nights, they will be paid a differential rate for night shift. It would be nice if the program would allow two rates and we could choose days or nights when entering payroll.

  • We also do the same for our employees and pay them a 5% or 10% increase for their shift differential. It would be nice to be able to select the shift differential rates/percentages for the hours that qualify for shift differential.

  • Try setting up paygroups for this if the rates are predetermined. If it is simply a % increase based on the employees rate of pay then you will have to calculate it yourself. But you can do so on the fly by using the built-in calculator. Simply enter the rate and hit the * button to bring it up. Do whatever calculations you need and then hit enter to get the result, and enter again to put that result into the field in Sage.
