  • You will need Timeclock and Payroll permission to edit, remove or add a pay adjustment. If you don't have access to this, ask someone from your company with 'Manager' permissions to update your user permissions.

  • You need to have set up your Staff Roles and Staff Members' details correctly. For more information on this click here.

  • It'd best to have your timeclocks set up so they pull through to Loaded automatically. For more information on this click here.

  • You will need to have a Pay Adjustment Package enabled in order to edit, remove or add a pay adjustment. For more information please click here.

How to view a specific pay adjustment on a staff member's Timeclock:

To view the adjustments that have been applied to your staff member's Timeclocks, go to Time> Timeclock> Punches By Staff. Select the date range you want to view.

This report will break down all Timeclocks for the date range selected. On a day when your staff only work ordinary time, their punches will look like this:

On a day that has a pay adjustment is applied, their punches will look like this:

This will bring up the Shift Breakdown for this staff member:

The Ordinary Time section shows:

  • Period - the times they clocked in and out on this date

  • Rate - their ordinary hourly rate

  • Hours - total hours on shift

  • Cost - the sum of total ordinary pay earned on this shift

The Pay Adjustments section shows:

  • Adjustment - the name of the Public Holiday or other pay adjustment e.g. Waitangi Day

  • Period - the times they clocked in and out on this date

  • Rate - the additional cost the adjustment has added e.g. 50% of their ordinary pay rate

  • Hours - total hours of the adjustment

  • Cost - sum of total additional pay earned on this shift

Lastly, the Total at the bottom shows:

  • Total Hourly Rate - ordinary rate + adjusted rate

  • Total Cost - sum of ordinary and adjusted pay earned on the shift
