If you get the error 'If staff member is not paid by a daily rate, then pay range must be included' on your SWC, please refer to the COLLECT guidance, section 7.2.12, page 52.
The guidance states that if a staff member has a daily rate in the HR system, then a pay range does not need to be selected. However, if your staff members do not have a daily rate and you are not using the government scales you will need to select 'Other' in the pay range in the HR system.
To select the 'Other' pay range, follow the steps below:
Search for the employee and go to their profile.
Click Employment, then Teacher.
Click General Teacher Details, then Edit.
Select 'Other' from the SWC Pay Range dropdown.
Click Save.
Below is what the gov guidance advises:
7.2.12. Pay Range For all staff in regular service the relevant pay range must be selected, unless Daily Rate is provided. For non-teachers this will be either 'National Joint Council (Local Government Services)' or 'Other'. For teachers it will depend on their post and whether they have crossed the threshold to the upper pay range. Academies that use their own pay range should assign 'Other'. Where it is provided, schools must return the correct range. The ‘Leadership Pay Range’ is only for staff in leadership positions (head teachers, executive head teachers, deputy heads and assistant heads) not for classroom teachers. Schools and local authorities must supply ‘Base Pay’ for all staff not paid by a daily rate, even if ‘Pay Range’ is also provided.
