  5. Click OK. The new pay code appears in the list of pay codes.
  6. Click the new pay code then click the General tab.

  7. Under Pay Code Rate is based on employee's payrate, select Second Payrate.

    The Third Payrate option allows you to create a third ordinary pay rate, if required.

  8. In the Multiplied by field, enter 1.

    The pay code is added to the employee's pay codes with the specified rate.
  9. Repeat steps 2 - 6 for all employees to whom this second rate will apply.
