Atto’s job codes and job-specific pay rates help you track compensation based on the type of work performed — giving you better visibility into labor costs and more accurate payroll management.
Understanding the Difference
Job Codes: Used to categorize different types of work or tasks
Job-Specific Pay Rates: Custom hourly rates assigned to specific job codes for each team member
When used together, they allow you to apply job-specific pay rates that reflect the actual work performed.
How to Set Up Job-Specific Pay Rates
Go to Settings > Pay Rate
Select the team member
Make sure Pay Rate is toggled ON
Click “Add a Job Pay Rate”
Choose a Job Code
Enter the hourly rate and start date
Click Save
📌 A default pay rate must be set before you can assign job-specific pay rates.
Managing Job Pay Rates
Edit: Update job pay rates to reflect compensation changes
Update: Adjust which job codes are associated with specific rates
Delete: Remove old job pay rates to keep records up to date
You can assign multiple job-specific pay rates per employee — each tied to a different job code.
