If you use ADP WFN for payroll, you can now use Area Based Pay (ABP) to modify the rates of an employee prior to export. If ABP is enabled, pay sent to ADP will be adjusted depending on the area in which an employee worked - allowing you to pay an employee more if they occasionally work a different role, or the same role under different conditions.
This guide will cover:
