Step-by-step guide:

  1. From the Dashboard navigate to Punch Clock→Piece Rates  

  2. Select the blue +Add Piece Rate button to open the piece rate window

  3. Enter the name, default rate, and the unit that your employees will be paid by

A piece rate’s unit MUST match the unit they will be harvesting by in a harvest.

If you are paying for different units depending on the harvest -

Example: Bins vs. 1-Litre Baskets

you will need to create a piece rate for each of these units for an employee to be paid out correctly.

 

  1. Select the activities that you want this piece rate to be associated with

For a piece rate to show in a harvest event, the rate’s activities MUST include “Piecemeal Harvest”


For a piece rate to show in a production practice event, the rate’s activities MUST match the acticty that was performed.

 

  1. Save your piece rate by clicking the blue Submit button
