When keying absence entries into a batch of Employee Absences (or Pay Period Entries), I see a warning icon to the right of the Pay Code ID field, and the message when I hover over the warning icon states there is not a pay rate for the pay code; what does this warning mean?
The warning indicates that the pay code being used for the absence entry does not have a pay rate defined (in either the Employee File or the Pay Code File). If the employee needs to be paid an amount for the absence entry, then the pay rate would need to be manually entered. Typically, if this warning appears when keying an absence entry for a contract employee, the warning can be ignored because the entry is being made to reduce the balance of the leave tied to the specified pay code and the employee is not being paid an additional amount for the entry (as the employee will receive the full contract payment).
