About Hours Classification settings
Your Hours Classification settings determine how your employees are paid for the hours they work, connecting Scheduling & Time Tracking to Rise Payroll.
There are four different parts to Hours Classification: overtime, pay codes, pay rules, and pay classes. All of them are interconnected—one part can affect the behaviour of another part.
Overtime (OT) settings determine the overtime intervals for daily, weekly, and multi-week overtime per payroll organization. A fixed OT calculation defines a fixed overtime period of 3 or 4 weeks from the overtime start date. A rolling OT calculation defines a rolling overtime period spanning the current week and 3 weeks prior to the current week. Overtime reset time defines a workday and prevents the employee from accruing daily overtime if they have multiple shifts in a day. For help with overtime, check out our How to manage overtime settings article.
Link Time off Policies maps an organization's time off policies to its pay codes. Once the time off policies are linked, Scheduling & Time Tracking imports approved time off requests based on the employees’ pay class from Rise time off. Employees can view their time off requests in My Timesheets and My Time Report. Owners and Admins can view employees' time off information in the Time Approval page. For help with linking time off policies, check out our How to link time off policy article.
Pay codes are the “bucket” that determines how much employees should be paid for their hours based on the payroll instruction the pay code is connected to. Hours that belong to a pay code will appear on the Payroll input sheet in the column for the payroll instruction. However, it’s the payroll instruction that defines the pay rate for hours in a pay code. For help with pay codes, check out our How to create and modify pay codes article.
Classification tags determine the pay rules that trigger based on the tags applied to the shift. For example, classification tags can be used in shift premiums applied on top of regular or overtime. For help with classification tags, check out our How to create classification tags and How to create and modify pay rules articles.
Pay rules determine what type of hours an employee worked and puts those into the pay code “buckets.” These rules are used to define different types of hours worked by different sets of employees—for example, if you have employees that belong to different unions, their overtime pay might need to be calculated differently. For help with pay rules, check out our How to create and modify pay rules article.
Pay classes separate employees into different groups and are used to connect pay rules and pay codes that apply to employees in each group. You can assign pay classes to employees in Rise Payroll, within their employee profile. Pay classes are most commonly used to separate hourly employees and salaried employees. Each pay class can have several layers that can connect multiple pay rules and pay codes. For help with pay classes, check out our How to create and modify pay classes article.
