Creating a pay rate for minimum trip pay
Use the Trip Min option to set the minimum pay amount for the entire trip. When you select this option, the system will total all pay details to determine whether the trip minimum should be applied.
This illustration shows a primary rate with a minimum trip pay amount.
The system uses the following process when it evaluates pay for the whole trip:
1. All pay detail amounts are totaled; then the total is compared to the amount recorded in the Trip Min field in the rate header.
2. If the trip’s pay is less than the minimum, the system creates a line item to make up the difference. The Description field displays the words Total Trip Minimum.
