Setup: Block to Pay an Employee based on Load Attributes

In order to set up rates to pay an employee for load-based attributes, you need to ensure that the activity (loading, skidding, felling, etc.) for which the employee will be paid is identified on the block as an activity that should be paid.  The link Geographic Work Area from the Main Menu  explains how to use the 'Block Setup Wizard' in order to set up a block and attach activities that should be paid.

The critical step involved in attaching activities in the wizard is:

Step 11:  Enter Pay Activities on the Block

In this step you will need to do the following in order to pay an employee:

1.    Select 'Track Activities, Employees, Equipment on Load Slips.'  This selection tells The Logger's Edge that you will be entering employees on your load slips.

2.    Check 'Pay Own Operator' for the activity for which you want to pay.  In the screen above, I have checked 'Pay Own Operator' for skidding.  This checkbox tells The Logger's Edge that employees will be entered on load slips for the activity of skidding.  The Logger's Edge will expect an entry for the operator on each load slip for the block and will expect a payment contract in order to pay that activity.

You must check the activity on each and every block for which you want to pay employees by the load.
