These tabs hold the wage rules your agency must comply with, and the notices that prove attendants were told their rate.
Pay periods and time entry windows are managed in Payroll, not here.

​
Wage Rules

Minimum wage, overtime, and pay rate compliance rules by jurisdiction. Columns: Name · Type · Jurisdiction · Min Rate · Effective · Active Rule sources include state minimum, federal minimum, Medicaid program requirements, contract terms, and internal policy.
Wage rules change on their own schedule. A rule with a future Effective date will change what compliant pay looks like on that date — review upcoming rules before they take effect, not after a pay run.

​
Wage Notices

Attendant wage rate notices compliant with Texas labor requirements. Columns: Employee · Rate · Effective · Acknowledged
Acknowledged is the field that evidences compliance. Issuing a wage notice without the employee acknowledging it does not satisfy the requirement. Filter on a blank Acknowledged after every rate change.

​
OfficeRidge checks this for you

The Wage Compliance Guard runs automatically and raises a WAGE_VIOLATION audit finding when pay falls below an active rule. Findings appear in Quality and audits.
Treat a wage violation finding as urgent. Underpayment against a state or Medicaid minimum carries liability beyond the shortfall itself.

​
After a rate change

1

Confirm the applicable rule

Check for rules with an Effective date inside the coming period.
2

Issue wage notices

Every affected attendant needs one, with the new Rate and Effective date.
3

Track acknowledgement

Chase anyone with a blank Acknowledged.
4

Confirm the new rate flows through

Check the next period’s pay reflects it, and that no wage violation findings appear.
