Managing Earn Codes

Overview

An Earn Code is a unique identifier used to categorize the types of transactions associated with an employee, such as but not limited to:

  • Rate: Weekend, REG, OT pay
  • Dollars: Bonus, Per Diems, Background Check
  • Units: Quantity of reported transactions

Earn Codes ensure that employees are paid correctly and the customer is billed correctly. They can be entered by the employee, generated automatically, or modified by an administrator.

Create an Earn Code Template for Earn Codes that are frequently used together. Users can select the template when creating a new Rate Card instead of each Earn Code individually.

This article will walk you through how to edit earn codes in the event that they change or were entered incorrectly. This will ensure the candidate is properly paid and the client is billed correctly.

Before You Begin

Earn Codes are setup for your entire Bullhorn One instance. They are not limited by Private Label or Department.

Managing Earn Codes is typically a system or billing administrator function. Users who have the Edit Earn Code entitlement will be able to edit Earn Code records.

Please contact Bullhorn Support to review and adjust your action entitlements.
