A Worker Pay Type is an association category used when worker rates are dependent on the type of worker selected for a position. They allow for variances in pay rates based upon certain circumstances, such as whether the supplier or buyer will be responsible for paying the worker.
For example, a buyer has hired a worker through a supplier, who will pay the worker. However, they hired another worker through a different supplier, but that worker will be paid directly by the buyer. It's the Worker Pay Type that defines that distinction.
Another distinction is an independent contractor--an external worker who is contracted directly, as opposed to being hired through a third-party supplier or procured as part of a larger project. A buyer, for example, may want to engage a graphic designer to help its marketing department with an advertising campaign. If they contract directly with a graphic designer, that worker would be classified as an independent contractor.
Multiple worker types can be associated to job posting templates. Buyers can also specify the rate schedule to be used for the worker pay type when creating a job posting if the 'specify Rate Schedules per Worker Pay Type" job posting template rule is enabled.
A Worker Pay Type would be selected when a supplier is submitting a job candidate. It captures whether the worker, buyer, or supplier would be responsible for paying the wage taxes so they can be reflected appropriately in the rate grid.
This admin object only displays when the company configuration "Use Worker Type" is enabled.
