Use this procedure to find all of a client's employees that are below a particular pay rate, and then raise their rates to meet a specific minimum. You may find this useful when a minimum wage rate is increased and you want to change the rates of those employees whose rate does not meet the new minimum requirement.

  1. Choose Setup > Employees and select the appropriate client.
  2. Click the Edit Multiple Employees link at the bottom of the screen.
  3. In the Information to Edit pane, mark the Pay Items checkbox and click Next.
  4. Right-click inside the Employee grid, choose Select All to select all of the client's employees, and then click Next.
  5. Select a pay item from the Pay Items drop-down list.
  6. Mark the Rate checkbox in the Information to Edit grid. When you do this, the application automatically marks the Calculation Type checkbox and adds the Calculation Type and Rate columns in the Selected Employees grid at the bottom of the screen. Show dialog.

  8. Use the CTRL or SHIFT keys to highlight the rows of all employees whose rate is at or above the new minimum wage amount and then press the Delete key to remove them from the Employees Selected grid, leaving only those employees whose rate is below the new required minimum.
  9. Back in the Information to Edit grid, click the Ellipsis in the Rate row.
  10. In the Rate dialog, choose the option to adjust the remaining employees' rates by a fixed amount, by a percentage, or change them to a new amount (the new minimum wage, for example). Click OK to save your choice and close the dialog. Show dialog.
