Fixing rate overlap errors

Rate overlap errors use the error code RATEOVERLAP. Rate overlap value errors generally occur if incorrect data has been incorrectly entered or imported into PayGlobal.

This topic shows some examples of an rate overlap errors and how to correct them.

Example 1

An employee rate has the following values

Rate Code 1, Rate Amount = $20.00, Start date = 08/02/2014, End date = 08/03/2014

Rate Code 1, Rate Amount = $22.00, Start date = 06/03/2014, End Date = blank

In this case, the start date of the second record overlaps with the end date of the first record. This should be corrected by either decreasing the End date of the first record

Example 2

An employee rate has the following values

Rate Code 1, Rate Amount = $20.00, Start date = 08/02/2014, End date = 08/03/2014, Age from (years) = 16, Age to (years) = 20

Rate Code 1, Rate Amount = $22.00, Start date = 08/02/2014, End Date = 08/03/2014, Age from (years) = 21, Age to (years) = 65

In this case no correction is required as, while the start and end dates are identical for both records they have separate age ranges.

Example 3

An employee rate has the following values

Rate Code 1, Rate Amount = $20.00, Start date = 08/02/2014, End date = 08/03/2014, Age from (years) = 16, Age to (years) = 20

Rate Code 1, Rate Amount = $22.00, Start date = 08/02/2014, End Date = 08/03/2014, Age from (years) = 18, Age to (years) = 65

In this case, while the start and end dates are identical for both records they have overlapping age ranges so the record would need to be corrected. This can be done by either dropping the Age to (years) value on the first record to be less than 18 or increasing the Age from (years) value on the second record to be greater than 20.
