Reset Staff Pay

Modified on Mon, 19 Sep, 2022 at 2:41 PM

The “Reset Staff Pay” function in the Schedule, re-calculates Staff Pay according to any changes that have been made to your rules that govern staff pay rates. 

This feature is most commonly used when a staff member receives a pay raise, in which case:
  1. The  "Staff Type" (and sometimes the  "Staff Pay Rules") are adjusted to reflect the new staff pay rate.  Show me how....
  2. The "Reset Staff Pay" function is then used to recalculate the Staff Pay Rate for selected services already in the Schedule which will ensure that your staff pay is recalculated correctly.


Info: Staff pay is calculated at the time you schedule services. Any changes you make to your Staff Pay Rules are not automatically reflected in the Staff Pay for services that were scheduled prior to any changes to your rules. 

If you make changes to your Staff Pay Rules, then use Reset Staff Pay to revalue Staff Pay for services scheduled before you made changes to your rules.

Tip: If a service previously had a manual adjustment to the Staff Pay, "Reset Staff Pay" will not override that manual adjustment, so another manual adjustment is needed to update those.


Note: The process is the same for any view of the Schedule (List View, Column View, Compact View).
