      Salaried Employee Settings

      Base Compensation and Pay Calculation profile settings for Salaried employees and considerations when switching from Hourly to Salary.

      Employee Settings

      For employees who are to be automatically paid their base salary, regardless of actual hours worked, the system can easily handle that with the following settings:

      ***Please keep in mind that if you pay according to the allocations on the timesheet rather than a set number of hours and amount, these settings do not pertain to your company.***

      • The Base Compensation widget should have the Amount Earning Autopay of Salary and the Autopay Type of Amount_Hours. These settings will allow the pay statement to automatically populate the pay period salary amount and the standard hours for the pay period. 
      • To set these, you must select the Autopay Type of both and the Amount Earning Autopay of salary when adding or changing base compensation.


      • The Pay Calculation profile for the Employee should be Salaried. 
        • Salaried working hours will be classified as Salary instead of Regular, and any hours with the label Salary will be excluded from the Sync when processing Timesheets. 

      • Time off hours will still sync from the timesheets during your payroll processing and automatically replace the hours and amounts auto-populated from the Base Compensation settings.

      Changing from Hourly to Salary Considerations

        • The Base Compensation line should be updated using the Add+ feature to add a new line. The Auto Pay will then begin with any pay date after the date you enter. 
        • If your Pay Calculation profile allows you to add an effective date, this should generally be the beginning of the pay period for which their working hours become Salary.  
        • If your Pay Calculation profile does not allow you to add an effective date, it will automatically apply to any open pay periods. This means that you will want to change after the last pay period in which they were hourly has been processed and closed, but before you approve and process the timesheet in which they have become salaried.
