The Employee Negotiation Rates option is used in Negotiations to track the employees included in a package, along with their pay codes, step and lane, and salary totals for the specified package. The deductions and taxes tied to the specified pay code for each employee are also tracked in the Employee Negotiation Rates option and show the amount withheld (paid by the employee) and the amount expensed (paid by the employer) for each deduction and tax.
The Employee Negotiation Rates option is intended to be used as a reference or "look up" table. The only fields of information that can be changed within the Employee Negotiation Rates option are the Step and Lane fields. Nebraska school districts will use the Employee Negotiation Rates option when comparing packages with neighboring school districts with dissimilar salary schedule dimensions in order to place the employees in the appropriate steps and lanes for the specified package (salary schedules).
