CRAFT CODE identifies a record in the CRAFT / DEDUCTIONS MASTER FILE.
It is composed of THREE FIELDS from that Master Record:
Local # The FOUR DIGIT number that identifies a Union Local.
Craft Up to 3 Alphabetic Characters that identify the CRAFT of the Employee.
(These are the Crafts that have been entered in the CRAFT MASTER).
Level Up to 3 Alphabetic Characters that identify the LEVEL of the Employee.
(These are the Levels that have been entered in the LEVEL MASTER).
The CRAFT CODE and its CRAFT / DEDUCTION RECORD can serve 3 purposes:
1. Identify the Craft and Level of a Worker on the CERTIFIED PAYROLL REPORT.
2. Cause a STANDARD PAY RATE & OVERTIME FACTOR to be used for an
Employee's pay computation.
3. Cause FRINGE BENEFITS and UNION DEDUCTIONS to be computed and
applied to this Employee.
Example:
An employee has the following Craft Code selected in his Employee Master Record:
0142ELEJ - 0142 = Union Local # 142
- ELE = Electrician Craft
- J = Journeyman Level
The following results will occur:
1. His CERTIFIED PAYROLL time and pay report will identify him as a
Journeyman Electrician.
2. He will be paid at a STRAIGHT TIME RATE of $21.25 per hour with a
TIME AND A HALF PREMIUM for OVERTIME. (As will all others with
this Craft Code).
3. He will have Fringe Benefits paid to a Trustee for Health & Welfare,
Pension and Apprentice Training according to Rates in this Craft /
Deduction Record.
4. He will have 2.5% of his Gross Pay deducted and paid to his Union as
Union Dues.
