Before creating a Group ProPay, Protiv performs a configuration check to ensure consistency across the selected ProPays. This article explains the importance of this check and the settings involved. 🧐
To create a successful Group ProPay, it's crucial that all the individual ProPays you want to combine have consistent settings. This ensures accurate calculations, streamlined management, and avoids potential errors. Protiv automatically performs a configuration check before finalizing a group to help you identify and rectify any inconsistencies.
What Settings Are Checked?
- Manager: All ProPays within a group must be assigned to the same manager. This is important for accountability and ensuring that the right person oversees the combined project.
- Bonus Type: The type of bonus (e.g., percentage-based, fixed amount) must be the same for all ProPays in the group. This ensures that bonuses are calculated uniformly across all jobs.
- Bonus Pool: The bonus pool, which determines the total amount available for bonuses, must be consistent across all ProPays in the group. This ensures fair and equitable distribution of bonuses.
- Lead Pay: If applicable, the lead pay rate (the additional amount paid to the crew lead) must be the same for all ProPays. This maintains consistency in compensation across the group.
Why Are Consistent Settings Important?
- Accurate Calculations: Inconsistent settings can lead to errors in bonus calculations, potentially resulting in overpayments or underpayments.
- Streamlined Management: Consistent settings make it easier to manage the group as a whole, as you don't have to worry about varying bonus structures or manager assignments.
- Fairness and Equity: Ensuring that all ProPays have the same bonus type and pool promotes fairness and equity among workers, as everyone is subject to the same incentive structure.
How to Address Inconsistencies:
If Protiv's configuration check identifies any inconsistencies, you'll need to adjust the settings of the individual ProPays before you can create the group. You can do this by editing the ProPays directly and changing the relevant settings to match the rest of the group.
Tip: Before selecting ProPays to group, review their settings to minimize the need for adjustments later.
By understanding the importance of consistent settings and addressing any inconsistencies before creating a Group ProPay, you can ensure a smooth and accurate process for managing your combined projects. 👌
