Inaccuracy in payments to crew, whether they be under-payments or over-payments, is a major headache for any airline. Consider this: a 4,500 crew regional airline with a payroll of $200M. p.a. and an overpayment error rate of 3% is leaking $6M every year.

Crew Pay and Allowances

The Rainmaker Crew Pay application is a web-based system that streamlines the entire pay process delivers the highest levels of accuracy and timely payments for crew allowances and per diems. Both crew and administrators are provided with a common set of screens for viewing and managing pay reports. All crew members can view and submit their proposed pay adjustments for approval. Back-office administrative staff can then approve submitted pay and integrate monthly pay amounts with the financial system.

Crew pay has its own rules engine covering rules driven from transaction codes imported from the airlines crew management system. Crew Pay is driven by the equipment flown, the leg, the Crew Position, the Deadhead type, the flight number range etc - these determine the appropriate credit to be paid for an individual activity into the relevant Pay Buckets. Also catered for in the rules engine are the code driven rules which sit on top of the data driven rules and manage more complex scenarios. These code driven rules require specific application logic in order to determine the credit time and appropriate pay buckets for each scenario.
