Dues Schedule Maintenance

The Dues Schedule is the actual dues rate or range of dues rates.  Each dues schedule record will have a user defined code and description.  If the dues schedule is just a simple fixed dues rate, then the dues rate will be put into the Fixed Amount field.  The Billing Frequency for this rate and description must be entered.  A dues rate can also be based upon a wage rate.  This could either be the member’s wage rate or the default contract wage rate as defined in the contract file.  A factor can be entered into the appropriate wage field.  This factor is multiplied by the wage rate to achieve the dues rate.  For example, if the dues is 2 ½ times the member wage, then a value of 2.5 would be entered in the member wage factor field.  A constant value can be added to this calculated dues rate by placing a value in the fixed amount field.   If the dues is two times the defined contract wage in the contract file plus $5 then the Contract Wage factor would be 2 and the Fixed Amount field would have 5.00.      The user can select to Use Wage Ranges to define a schedule of wage ranges for either fixed or wage factor dues determination.  Selecting to use wage ranges will turn the screen into a grid to allow multiple records to represent the wage ranges required to define the dues.  The user must select to use either the Member wage or the Contract wage (M or C).  Records can be added to the grid by using the red add button in the upper left corner of the grid and records can be deleted by clicking on the white space to the left of the From Wage field while in the edit mode.   The Rules for This Dues Definition tab allows the user to view all the definitions tied to this dues schedule with their corresponding definition rules.
