    We have an employee who was setup with a 2nd position level for a different dept & job code than their primary and  it was effective for 5/12/13.  This employee worked in both their 1st & 2nd position levels this past pay period (5/12-25/13) however the payrate for the 2nd pos level is reflecting the 1st pos levels rate not the 2nd's.
    If I go directly to pr36 and enter a paycode and assign the 2nd pos levels job code the primary pay rate is pulled in not the 2nd level.
    It appears to be setup correctly, what else can I check?

      Check your PA06 set up - payroll tab. You'll want your pay rate to default from all positions. Depending on your set up, you may need to add items like process level etc. to the time record on PR36 for correct defaulting.

        Do you have the second job set up on HR14.1 (Alternate Pay Rates)?

          Everything on pa06's payroll tab is set to 3 except for location which is set to 1.  We have other people who've been setup with a 2nd position who've been working.  Not sure if it makes a difference but were on 9.0.1.

            No this employee is only setup on PR13 with pos level 01 & 02, nothing for HR14.1.

              If others are working and are set up the same, the only other thought I have is to double check the time record date, AND the effective date of the level 2 position.

                The effective date on the 2nd position is 5/12/13.  I looked at the record in SQL and see it has a date stamp of 5/17/13.  We bring in all of our time on one date from Kronos into Lawson using PR530 and the PR530 reports shows the date of 5/25/13 and all pay codes are using the primary pay rate.
                I have to do a little more detail review of others setup the same way then probably open a Lawson ticket.
                Thanks for your help.

                  I have always found that multiple positions works more effectively when you add the non primary (levels 2-99) positions onto HR14. We add the process level, department and job code with the rate of pay onto HR14. Since Lawson first looks at the pay code and then to Alternate Rates, having the records on HR14 stops the flow at that point for time records with a process level, department and job code that match the entry on HR14.

                  The other things that could be effecting the time records are history records and pending actions.

                  I have seen where the effective date is not used when time records look at the pay rate but the date stamp is instead used. You may want to check to see if the date stamp on the position is after 05/17. If it is, this may be the issue.

                    By entering in the record in to HR14 I was able to get the correct pay rate to show up in PR36.
                    Should P/R be looking at the mult position tab (PA13) for different rates of pay or does only HR14 give us that option?

                      It is my understanding that if the time record has the position defined that it should look at employee position/job records. Do your time records have the actual position? Or (like many others) do you feed in dept and job code but not the position number?

                        Our feed doesn't have the position number we send over the jc & dept from Kronos
