Predefined Rates

Created by Louise Persson, Modified on Thu, 30 Jan at 8:42 AM by Louise Persson

When creating new employees, it is possible to define predefined rates for the following:

  • Hourly wage
  • Sick hourly wage
  • Social costs
  • Holiday pay
  • Permanent wage

Once these rates have been created, they can be selected via a dropdown menu during the employee creation process. Read more about creating employees here.


Creating Predefined Rates 

You can create these rates by following these steps:

  1. Navigate to the "Various" menu.
  2. Go to "Systemsettings."
  3. Open the "Economy" tab.

Under this tab, you will find a section for each rate. By clicking the green "+" icon next to each heading, you will have the option to create the predefined rate. 


There are some common features when creaing these rates that you need to be aware of:

When assigning an employeegroup you must select the group responsible for assigning the rate to employees.
You can create as many rates as needed.
Each employee can only have one rate of each type assigned. Although you can create multiple rates, only one can be linked per employee.
