About Extra Pay

Extra pay can be recorded when a piece of work's normal pay time needs to be increased. For example, when an employee requires additional time to complete an accident report.

You can use the Extra Pay dialog to both add pay to and deduct pay from work. You can create more than one extra pay record for a piece of work. You can also record labor cost allocations for extra pay.

If Trapeze OPS is integrated with Trapeze Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) at your agency, you can verify extra pay claims by viewing operators' actual sign-on and sign-off times in the Extra Pay Management screen.

For example, if a driver takes 10 minutes for a 5-minute scheduled travel time because of bad weather, check to see if an extra pay code has been defined for this situation. If it's defined, record extra pay for the occurrence. If it isn't defined, you can adjust the time for the piece of work. If the travel time needs to be increased for this and future runs, the run must be updated in another application (for example, Trapeze FX).

Extra pay can be added to work whether or not ithe work is associated with an employee.

Extra Pay Types, Extra Pay Reasons, and OPS Work Assignment Rules ancillary data define time restrictions and where waivers are allowed.
