   • The Piece Rate section sets the dollar amount that is to be paid to the employee per packed master/case

   • The Style tells the system which packaging style the employee must pack to earn the the rate

   • The Product tells the system which product the employee must pack as well

   • By splitting Style and Product, the admin can set different payouts for different combinations

4. Once the information is entered, click Save

5. If you make any mistakes, you can Edit the piece rate at any time

How does it work?

• The Field Pack mobile app will scan the tag on the master/case that the employee has packed

• If the tag matches a Style and Product set in the Employee’s pay schedule, the system’s payroll reports can then calculate the payout

• Scanning the following master tag would pay out $1.12 if the employee’s pay schedule and piece rates are set to the example above

Can I change the piece rate after the employees have finished packing?

• While it is possible to edit the piece rate at any time, it is important to note that one the employee has packed a unit, the payout for that unit cannot be edited via the Pay Schedule and must be fixed by editing the Pallet directly via the Field Pack module on the Croptracker website

Do I need to update the piece rates each season?

• While it is possible to change the rate each season, it is recommended that a new Pay Schedule is created entirely with new piece rates. This can be accomplished by copying the old Pay Schedule at the beginning of the new season using the Save As Copy button
