Hourly based payroll for employees with different rate

1

Its quite astonishing that hourly based payroll with different rates for employees has not yet been introduced in ErpNext. Its very common and i have seen a huge requirement for it too.
Has this been added to the roadmap? can we expect this anytime?

I believe this is not true.

You can create a salary component like “Hourly Wages”, use a formula to calculate this amount.
To use the Base amount (in the salary structure assignment) for the employee as the hourly rate use the following formula.

base * total_working_hours

To manually enter the hourly wage every time you create a salary slip using company currency amount:

base_hour_rate * total_working_hours

Or use the hourly amount not associated with company currency:

hour_rate * total_working_hours

I just learned version 15 hides hours in salary slip. I created a button via client script to add hours (total_working_hours), since I don’t use timesheets.
