Change Custom Extra Rates for Employees

If you want to specify INDIVIDUAL Itemised or the Fixed-Extra Custom-Extras per employee and would like Harvester to "remember" these values from month to month so that no re-input is required each month then do the following to set this up BEFORE you begin processing the current month's payroll processing. Individual Itemised rates can be set to extras that are of the Type: Itemised or Fixed or Percentage-of-Basic. (The type can be set under Company Extras) To edit individual amounts, go to "Payroll Individual" screen on the main home page and then choose your employee who needs a different rate. Then look to the last column and click on "extras". Then choose any extra of the type that is "Itemised" or "Fixed" or "Percentage". Look for the specific custom extra and then click "edit value". You will be able to give this employee a unique value that will be used for all future payroll payments processed. Using this same page explained above, where you look for the last column and click on "extras", you can also click on the Add-Extras link to assign any NON company-wide extra to the specific employee. Some more notes: Another way to edit Individual Rates is use the Settings page and then click on Assign-Extras-to-Employees. Then choose any extra of the type that is "Itemised" or "Fixed" or "Percentage" and on the right hand side click on Edit-Value to edit the default itemized rate (default rate can be set under Company Extras). NB It is important to choose the Edit Value link for the individual employee on the RIGHT-HAND-SIDE of the edit Extras page. If the extra is a company-wide extra, then the input amounts can be captured via excel in the offline, excel, payroll input sheet. If the input amount each month needs to be the same value as the normal days worked (eg A Daily bonus or allowance depending on the days worked) do the following: If you are using the Offline-input Template In excel and you have specified your Custom Extra to be of the "Itemised-Type", then just copy the column of the standard days into the appropriate Item-Input Column.
