I have a client on PR2.19 who pays employees a Salary, but also tracks the "jobs" the employees are working on (Not Job Cost, but rather uses earnings codes and departments) According to Sage KB 110301 (below) if the hours are
less that the salary cycle hours, it will decrease the $, but if the hours are
more then it will not increase the wages. However, I am finding this only applies when only one earnings code is used. If I have multiple earnings codes that add up to the cycle hours (or more) it still appears to use the hourly rate when using Autopay. I've tried all sorts of difference combinations to try and get it to work, and no matter what it still seems to be a very manual process. The file is coming from a time keeping system call SpringAhead. We are trying to set up an import, but I am also trying to avoid having them do too much work on the spreadsheet, and avoid Perform Logic if at all possible. Anyone done something like this before?

Salary Amount changes when decreasing hours in Payroll Data Entry if cycle hours are not populated in emploee maintenance defaults tab.

This has been determined to be working as designed and it worked the same way in legacy.
Increasing the hours on a salary employee will not increase their "Salary $" like it would an hourly employee.
Decreasing the hours on a salary employee will decrease the Salary $. This is because you may need to pay them Vac, Sick, other earnings code for the remaining hours and do not want to pay them more than the Salary amount. If you are decreasing hours to track hours worked and not entering in other hours, you will need to enter the hours worked less than normal and then edit the salary amount back to the Salary $, which will change the payrate.
