Editing/Updating an Existing Wage Chart
Admin can select an existing wage chart from the dropdown list.
You can double-click a row and update Normal rate, Weekend rate, Holiday rate, and Rate Factor (Normal rate applies on weekdays, Weekend rate applies on weekends, and Holiday rate applies on holidays).
The Rate factor defines the unit at which this rate will apply.
Similarly, A $120 normal rate with a rate factor of 8, means the unit amount is applied for 8 hour slots, so a 16-hour service will be $120x16/8 = $240)
Once you have entered all of the rates for Normal, Weekend, Holiday and Rate Factor. Click on Update.
Once you have clicked Update, the data will be entered into the form. Below you will see that the new entry has a red triangle next to it, this means the data is yet to be saved.
You can make multiple changes to the rates and then save all changes in a single click.
You can also Revert Changes before you save. This will take you back to the data entered from your last save.
Once Save Changes has been clicked all the red triangles will be gone and the data will be saved.
