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

You would set up a Per Diem earning code in PR Earnings Codes

Description: Per Diem or similar.

Method: D- Rate per Day

Factor 1.0

You would need to check off include in Liability Distributions IF the Per diem is subject to any Tax or other Liabilities. 

IF the Per Diem is taxable, you would need to add Deductions and Liabilities to the Dedn/Liab tab: 

If the Per Diem is not Taxable leave the Dedn/Liabs tab blank.

Once you have set up the Per Diem it can be added to the employee's time in one of three ways:

1. PR Automatic earnings.   This is appropriate if the Per Diem is a constant value and the employee receives it regularly for each day worked.

2. PR Crafts or Craft Class.  This is used if the Employees per Diem is an add on to their craft based earnings.

3. Adding the Per Diem as a timecard entry.  This would be used if the Per Diem is only offered periodically.

NOTE: If the Per Diem is to be job costed, the Automatic Earning would need to include a Job in its setup.  A job would need to be included in the regular earning timecard if Craft Class based or if the Per Diem manually added as a manual Timecard entry.
