We are happy to introduce the latest software enhancement released to your Spokeware timekeeping system. If you have any questions or would like to take advantage of new functionality, please reach out to your friendly support representative.
Overriding Default Hourly Rate by Entry: Currently, all time entries in Spokeware are tied to an earning code. When those hours are approved and imported to payroll, the rate associated with that earning code is pulled from the payroll system. We have received feedback that there are scenarios in which designated timesheet managers would like to override the default rate when adding a timesheet entry (without using a different earning code).
We have added the ability for authorized users to override default employee rate when adding a timesheet entry. Users granted access will see new "Rate" fields within the timesheet. When adding an entry, they will have the option to enter a rate, which will then be tied to that entry (and will override the default rate displaying). Once an overriding rate has been entered, it will display in the timesheet "Rate" column.
*Please Note:
1. Users not granted access will not see any rates
2. If an entry is added without an overriding rate, nothing will display in the Rate column within the timesheet
3. There is not currently ability to edit the Rate tied to existing entries
If you would like to grant this ability to any users, please reach out to Support.
