Seniority-based pay

Use worker seniority fields and payment rules to adjust pay rates without hard-coded software changes.

Operational question

How can seniority change pay without hard-coded software work?

Before Teambridge

Pay rules depend on worker tenure, but the system needs a structured way to read seniority and apply the right rate.

After setup

Seniority fields, automations, shift-linked values, and payment rules update pay rates based on configured conditions.

Setup you should understand

  • Seniority date and level fields on Users
  • A seniority rate field on Shifts
  • Automations that update seniority levels
  • Payment rules that adjust default rates

What to watch for

  • User seniority and shift pay need to stay linked
  • Automations keep seniority current
  • Payment rules should show where the rate came from
  • Test with multiple worker levels

Video takeaways

The main ideas to retain after watching

  • Create seniority field
  • Populate worker values
  • Configure payment rules
  • Test pay outcomes
