You can set up minimum wage rates by federal, state, county, city, or create a custom override rate. Setting these rates can help you stay compliant with minimum rates and identify when employees are not meeting the minimum.
Important: To use multiple minimum wages, you must use valid job addresses. For more information about address validation, see Payroll Tax Address Validation.
- Open the Payroll Defaults window from the Payroll module. Minimum wage information is on the Misc. tab.
- Enter the federal minimum wage. If no additional minimums are set, WinTeam will only check if pay rates meet this value.
- Click the button to enter more minimums.
- Enter minimum wages for jurisdictions where you have active jobs. Rates can be future dated.
