Piece-Rate Harvest Logging
3 min read — Updated March 2026
What Is Piece-Rate Logging?
Piece-rate logging lets you record daily output for each worker in any unit: kilograms, crates, baskets, rows, or a custom unit. The system calculates earnings based on the agreed rate per unit.
How to Log Output
Open an employee profile for a farm or seasonal worker. Go to the Piece-Rate tab. Enter the date, unit type, quantity, and rate per unit. The system calculates total earnings and checks against the SD13 minimum wage.
Minimum Wage Top-Ups
If a worker's piece-rate earnings for the day fall below the SD13 minimum daily wage, the system automatically calculates the top-up amount. This appears as a separate line item on the payslip.
Top-ups are calculated daily. Even if a worker has a good day followed by a slow day, each day is assessed independently.
