Help on change to payroll

EKHVACLLC — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 06:12:37 GMT

my HVAC company pays our installers a flat rate for installs. so when i submitt payroll i change their rate to match the flat rate pay. i just imported time and wages and it no longer gives me the option to update this unless i change under job compensation. This doesn't make sense and has never been this way. Their pay rate is never the same. How can this be changed???

@EKHVACLLC I might suggest using the 'Additional Pay' column to capture flat rate payments. The # of hours and hourly wage assumes a static wage and variable # of hours each pay period.

The other option might be to assign a wage (e.g $10 or $100) and then enter the # of hours to get to the right payout. But I think using Additional Pay would be simpler and cleaner.

Yes, additional pay is usually what I would use to calculate any additional cent diff. I have now utilized this for the entire flat pay for this payroll. The change def. put me into panic haha.

Thanks for your help!
