1. Get all other Abra users logout of Abra and backup the database by going to Processes, System, Backup Data, click Select All and Ok.
2. Go to Processes, HR and Mass Update Pay Rate.
3. Select the Employer and Employee Status Type (e.g. Active).
4. If you wish to change Pay Rate for a particular group of employees, specify the group using FoxPro Expression Builder and then click Ok.
5. Change the Pay Change Date to that of Pay Rate Change Effective Date if different from the date displayed.
6. Select the Change Reason from the list.
7. Build a mathematical formula using Expression Builder (e.g. Pe.p_salary * 1.10 for 10% increase to the employees' current salaries).
8. When you click Ok, it will first give the number of records to be updated. If the record number is reasonably accurate, please click Yes to mass update Pay Rate.
9. The System will automatically create Job History records with current salary before the update and then change the Pay Rate to that of new one and update benefits I accordance to the new salary.
10. Randomly verify the accuracy of the Mass Update Pay Rate. If accurate, let other Abra users login, otherwise restore the data by going to Processes, System, Restore Data, click Select All and Ok, and do it again the right way.
