Rate Schedule

A Rate Schedule is a group of shifts and applicable rates that allow buyers to configure logic into their rate structure. They allow complex rates to be assigned to specific positions and assigned to workers so they can be automated in time sheet calculations.

A Rate Schedule in Action

To demonstrate how a rate schedule would impact various time sheets, let’s look at a few examples.

Rate Rules

Rate schedules require what are called Rate Rules in order for them to perform the appropriate calculations. Rate rules are a set of detailed logic that drive rate and time sheet behavior. For example, on Joe’s time sheet, a rate rule is what determined how hours worked over the standard day would be allocated as overtime.

Once rate rules are configured, they are associated to rates on the rate schedule.

Rate schedules are then assigned to Job Postings so subsequent work orders will adhere to the rate and time sheet logic.

Navigating the Rate Schedule Admin Object

Select the Rate Schedule admin object from the Rate Structure section of the admin menu to view the list of rate schedules that WorkingNet uses.

Create a Rate Schedule

WorkingNet is creating a new Customer Support position for their London Office. You’ve already created a rate structure for it, but now must create a rate schedule to calculate any time over 40 hours a week as overtime.

As the SAP Fieldglass administrator for WorkingNet, you’re tasked with creating that rate schedule.

Add a Rate Schedule to Job Posting Template

WorkingNet is creating a new Customer Support position for their London office. You’ve already created a rate structure for it, including a rate schedule.

As the SAP Fieldglass administrator for WorkingNet, you now have to perform the final step: add the rate schedule to the applicable job posting templates.
