Custom Overtime rates and Allowances can be created from the Company Settings. If you need to create more, check out the following articles:
Saving Overtime Rates and Recurring Allowances for Employees
Once you have set some overtime rates or allowances created, you can add them to your employee's salary details.
Adding Overtime Rates
To add applicable overtime rates to an employee:
- Go to the People page
- Edit the employee you want to add overtime rates to
- Click on the Salary Details tab
- Click Add Rate and from the drop-down
- Select the applicable overtime rate
- Repeat step 4 and 5 for each overtime rate you want to include
- Update the Salary Details
By adding the applicable overtime rates to the employee's salary, these will automatically be included in the Run Payroll page for your input.
If you use our AccuPay™ feature, Process Timesheets, only the applicable overtime rates will be automated for that employee
Adding Recurring Allowances
To add recurring allowances (which will be automatically included in each pay run):
- Go to the People page
- Edit the employee you want to add recurring allowances to
- Click on the Salary Details tab
- Click Add Allowance
- Select the type of allowance from the dropdown
- Insert the recurring amount (or the hourly/multiplier rate, if the allowance is not a flat amount)
- Update the Salary Details
By adding a recurring allowance to the salary details, this will automatically be included in each pay run for the employee. For cash allowances, it is essential that you insert the amount that is to be inserted per payslip.
Start and End Dates (Optional)
For any allowances that are given for a limited span (e.g. a bonus for the next 3 months), you can set a start or end date.
The allowance will only be included if the payroll is in the eligible range.
