[PR] How to Setup a Per Diem Earnings Code in Vista

Setting Up a Per Diem Earning Code

1. Create the Per Diem Code in PR Earnings Codes:

   • Description: Per Diem (or similar)

   • Method: D – Rate per Day

   • Factor: 1.0

   • Include in Liability Distributions: Check if taxable or subject to liabilities.

   • Dedn/Liab tab: Add deductions/liabilities only if the Per Diem is taxable; leave blank if not.

2. Assign Per Diem to Employees:

   • PR Automatic Earnings: Use if the Per Diem is a fixed amount and paid regularly.

   • PR Crafts or Craft Class: Use if the Per Diem is added to craft-based earnings.

   • Timecard Entry: Use if the Per Diem is occasional or periodic.

Note:

• If the Per Diem should be job-costed, ensure a Job is included in the setup for Automatic Earnings, Craft/Class-based earnings, or manual Timecard entries.
