Setting Up PR Craft Class Templates
PR Craft Class Templates are the most detailed level for craft/class pay rates, add-ons, deductions (including pre-tax), and liabilities. Template-level values override craft and class. Enter only overrides. Use 0.00 to explicitly exclude a rate that would otherwise inherit.
Before you start
- Craft and template are associated in PR Craft Templates.
- Class exists in PR Craft Classes.
- Know which rates, add-ons, and Ded/Liab rows are true exceptions versus inherited standards.
Steps
Entry paths
- Open the form from one of:
- Main Menu: enter Craft, Class, and Template (craft/template must already be associated in PR Craft Templates).
- PR Craft Classes: Craft/Class prefilled; enter Template.
- PR Craft Templates: Craft/Template prefilled; enter Class.
Prevailing wage override
- Override Class Prevailing Wage enables prevailing-wage fields on the template. Leave unchecked to inherit from PR Craft Classes. The option is disabled unless capped codes exist for the craft.
- Calculation methods: Standard, Cash Fringe Factored, Generous Fringe #1/#2, Constant Fringe.
- Cash Fringe Factored uses Old/New Total Wage.
- Other methods use Old/New Basic Hourly plus Fringe.
- Craft Effective Date selects which rate set applies.
Follow-on detail
- After the template header, configure pay rates, variable earnings, add-on earnings, deductions/liabilities, and allowances for this Craft + Class + Template combination.
- Save. Confirm a job that uses the parent craft template picks up the class-level overrides on a test timecard.
Notes
- Honest partial: mid-browse captcha interrupted some About Crafts/Classes/Templates pages during the 2026-09-09 review. Core hierarchy and entry paths above are from the captured notes.
