Pay Categories & Export Codes Explained
Pay Categories & Export Codes
Pay categories & export codes are labels used to identify pay rate multipliers – they allow you to apply pay rate multipliers to users' time. They are used in overtime rules and pay rules and payroll calculations, and they display in the pay sheet summary.
How pay codes are used in overtime rules and pay rules
Pay categories & export codes are used in overtime rules and pay rules to specify at what rate users should be paid for different categories of time worked. These codes will also be used when you export the staff timesheet into other payroll softwares such as MYOB, XERO, KeyPay...etc
For example, you might create and assign the following pay codes:
Pay Category | Description |
Night Rate | Pay category used to label the time that was performed at night time |
Sat Rate | Pay Category used to label the work performed on Saturday |
OT (1.5x) | Overtime paid at 1.5x |
OT (2.0x) | Overtime paid at 1.5x |
| Weekly Overtime paid at 2.0x |
