Pay rates and salary period
Set the day rate, when evening and night rates start, and the days your salary period runs.
In Time Punch Settings you set how staff hours are split into rates, and which days make up your salary period. The payroll report uses these settings.
You need permission to see the Settings page in Time Punch.

How the rates show up
Hours are split into four groups: DV (day work), 33%, 45% and 55%. A fifth group is Out sick. The groups appear in Timers and in the payroll report.
The rates are based on the hourly rate of each staff member. The report uses Base salary override on the staff user. See Add staff to Time Punch.
For single days with a different rate, see Load days.
