Why assign a user to a salary
A user should be assigned a salary if they work a set number of hours each week and are paid on a yearly rate.

button next to the Classification rate to set the hourly rate for that staff member. All staff in easyemployer are paid an hourly rate.
To calculate an employee's hourly rate:

- Divide their salary by the weeks in the year to get their weekly rate ($52,000 / 52)
- Divide their weekly rate by the hours the employee works each week ($1,000 / 40)
- Their hourly rate will be displayed (in this example the rate is $25 per hour)
