Viewing an employee's raise history

You can view an employee's pay raise history, and enter historical raise information for an employee, in the employee record. Whenever you add an employee, or change an employee's compensation, Sage 100 Contractor automatically adds that information to the employee's raise history.

To view raise history for an employee:

1. Open the 5-2-1- Employees window.
2. Use the data control box to display the record for the employee whose pay history you want to view.
3. With the record displayed, click Options > Raise History or click the [Raise History] button.
4. If you need to add pay history, on the first blank line of the grid:
   1. Click in the Date field, and then click the Down arrow to display the calendar.
   2. In the calendar, navigate to the year and month, and then double-click the date that the historical rate became effective.
   3. In the Rate Type cell, type the code for the rate type (1-Regular, 2-Salary, or 3-Commission%), and then press Tab.
   4. In the Original Amount cell, the amount of regular pay, salary, or commission before the new rate, and then press Tab.

   5. Enter the amount or the percent to add (or subtract) from the original amount. Do one of the following:

      • In the Change Amount cell, type the amount of regular pay, salary, or commission to add to the original amount.

        When you enter a change amount, Sage 100 Contractor calculates and displays the change percent automatically for you.

      • In the Change Percent cell, type the percent by which to increase the regular pay, salary, or commission.

        When you enter a change percent, Sage 100 Contractor calculates and displays the change amount automatically for you.

      Tips:  

      • If you make a mistake, you can click Edit > Undo Typing to undo your most recent change.

        To delete an entire row, click the row number, right-click, and then click Cut Row

      • You can import history that you have stored in a separate file you created in another program (for example, a comma delimited text file). Click File > Open > [format], and then navigate to the file where the information is stored.

        Consider saving a file (File > Save) first, to ensure that you create the external file using the correct formats.

      • You can also print raise history.

        Click File > Print to print the raise history for the selected employee.
