Do your part to ensure contract pay rate changes are completed correctly and in time for payroll by reviewing these tips when making a pay rate change to contracts:

• Pay rate changes must be effective dated the first day of the next payroll. Once payroll processing has started, you must use the first day of the following month. This date is currently Oct. 1, 2018.
• Always maintain the No Proration of Change Amount button.
• Backdating contracts does not update projected pay on the Contract Payment Details page. This results in incorrect pay for the first month of the change, then the system will adjust itself.
