Micros 3700 - How to make an employees pay be salaried, not hourly

[Kroan]

I'm trying to change the pay rate for an employee in Micros 3700 to salaried from hourly. I've looked at the in program help and it says to go to POS configurator -> employees -> highlight the employee -> click on the Salary Job tab. I don't see any Salary Job tab listed. The only tabs that show up are General, Security, POS and Job Rates. The Job Rates tab doesn't have anything related to salary that I can find. Am I missing something completely obvious, or is something abnormal going on? Thanks very much for any suggestions.

The instructions you are reading appear to assume that you have Labor Management licensed. Have you tried simply assigning a Salary type job under Job Rates?

POS Configurator -> Employees -> Jobs is where you create new jobs.

You'll need to create a new job, and under its Type tab, set it to salary. Once you have that job, you should be able to assign it to employees and then flag it as primary.

Thanks for your help Moregelen. I tried following your instructions, but there doesn't appear to be an option for salary in either the Jobs section or Employee section. Here is a screenshot of the Jobs type tab, [URL unfurl="true"]http://imgur.com/kEfp6vC[/url]. Is that because I don't have a Labor Management licensed as well? How could I tell that I don't have that licensed for sure?

The strange thing is that the store manager never shows up as counting towards labor on the reports, but everyone else does, even though they clock in as the same job "supervisor". I'm trying to figure out what is different with his employee account, as there are a couple other employees that I don't want contributing to daily labor percentages. Thanks again for any suggestions.

Can you tell me what version of RES you are using?

And to check what you have licensed, you can do Windows Key (generally next to the right Ctrl key) -> R, which will bring up the run window. Type licmanager and hit enter. The Enterprise Office tab is where Labor Management licences would be.

If you don't know the version of RES you have, doing Windows Key -> R and typing versioninfo will bring up all of the version information.

Next to the left Ctrl key.. sorry.. got my left and right mixed up apparently.

Just an FYI, if you simply don't assign them an hourly job, it won't require them to clock in. Are you doing your salaried payroll off of the Micros system?

It is Micros Version 4.1. I indeed don't have Labor Management licensed. Payroll is done by a bookkeeper whom we send the payroll report to and she inputs it into her system. Therefore salary payroll is done on her end. I'll try not adding an hourly job to see if that works for our needs. Thanks so much for your help.

FYI, if you are using Micros 4.1, it is NOT PCI Compliant. Might want to consider upgrading it if you are able.

I did not realize that. Thanks for the heads up.

Yeah, if you are processing credit cards through Micros be very careful about it, especially if you have to stay with the non PCI version. Do not use the Micros computer for anything except running and printing reports; don't browse the web, don't open Office documents, don't check your email on it.. make sure it is on a network that none of your guests can get to (physically or otherwise). It will under up costing you a lot of money (easily in the hundreds of thousands if you do a lot of credit card transactions) if your system is breached.
