RedTeam Flex - Manage Contract Employees

RedTeam Flex allows users to manage their employees by creating user profiles in the application.

RedTeam Flex allows users to manage their employees by creating user profiles in the application, but not every employee is the same. Sometimes, companies use professional employer organizations (PEO), staff leasing companies which allow your business to outsource employee management and hire people under a contract basis. To account for these kinds of employees, RedTeam Flex lets you select "Contract (Exempt)" or "Contract (Non-Exempt)" from the employment type dropdown when creating a new employee profile. When a Contract employee type is selected, you will also select the Contract Payee company from the dropdown. You will also need to select an appropriate Role for your contract employee. If no Role exists, ask your System Administrator to create one for you.


1. Configure Staff Leasing

Staff Leasing in the Configuration menu is where you will set up companies that act as Contract Payee's for Contract Employees. Examples of such companies are temporary labor services, such as Labor Ready or PeopleReady.

Once a Vendor has been configured here, they will appear in the Contract Payee dropdown when creating a new Employee.

Steps:

  1. From the Configuration menu, click Staff Leasing, under the heading: Accounting.

  2. Click New (+).

  3. Select the Staff Leasing company from the dropdown. If the company is not listed in the dropdown, you will need to select + Add New to create it as a Vendor (first option in the dropdown).

  4. Once the company is selected, click Save.


2. Add a New Contract Employee

RedTeam Flex allows users to manage their employees by creating user profiles in the application, but not every employee is the same. Sometimes, companies use professional employer organizations (PEO), staff leasing companies which allow your business to outsource employee management and hire people under a contract basis. To account for these kinds of employees, RedTeam Flex lets you select Contract (Exempt) or Contract (Non-Exempt) from the employment type dropdown when creating a new employee profile.

Steps:

  1. From the Employees menu, click New (+) > Add Employee.

  2. Fill out the required information in the blank employee form.

  3. Under the Payroll section, select the Employment Type: Contract (Exempt) or Contract (Non-Exempt), then select the Contract Payee.

  4. To set up the Contract Payee, follow steps from Section 1 of this Article.

  5. Under the Payroll section, select a Labor Category (SKIP this if you do not use Labor Categories).

  6. Click Save.

  7. Once the employee has been created, you will be prompted to manage access to Facilities to select which Projects the user will be able to access.


3. Overtime Calculation and Pay

For employees slected as Non-Exempt RedTeam Flex supports the federal calculation for overtime premiums which is hours in excess of 40 working hours in any given week. Overtime pay will be calculated as the Employee Rate x 1.5.
