Field

Description

Name

Identifies the oncost rate. The name must be unique for the selected hierarchy level and hierarchy value combination.

Start Date

The date on which the oncost rate becomes effective. This date must not overlap with another oncost rate for the same hierarchy level and value.

End Date

The date after which the oncost rate is no longer valid. This date must not overlap with another rate for the same hierarchy level and value. Leave blank for indefinite validity.

Hierarchy Level

Defines the agreement hierarchy level to which the oncost rate applies. This defaults to Country but can be changed as required.

Hierarchy Value

Specifies the hierarchy value associated with the selected hierarchy level, such as the applicable country or agreement.

Use Supplementary Rates for Oncost Calculation

When selected, the oncost calculation uses the supplementary pay code rate instead of the paid pay code rate, provided all supplementary rate conditions are met in the agreement and job order.

Exempt

When selected, the oncost rate is excluded from bill agreement interpretation. The system applies the next most applicable oncost rate in the hierarchy. Enabling this clears the Rate and Linked Oncost Header fields and disables them.

Rate Type

Determines how the oncost is calculated. Percentage Based calculates the oncost as a percentage of the pay rate. Amount Based applies a fixed monetary value.

Rate (%)

Specifies the percentage applied to the pay rate when the rate type is Percentage Based.

Rate ($)

Specifies the fixed monetary amount applied when the rate type is Amount Based.

Export Code

Maps the oncost rate to a corresponding oncost in an external finance system for export purposes.

Linked Oncost Header

Lists other bill oncost headers to which this oncost rate can be linked. These links define calculation dependencies between oncosts.
