Question

How do I set up an employee with timesheets on the employee portal

We have an employee who is on a regular salary, but does additional project work that we want to pay him for in addition to base pay.  These are not overtime hours, but will be paid at a different rate from "normal" pay. We want him to be able to add the hours he works on the project each week via the employee portal.  How do I set all this up?

Hi eddie-paterson, you can do this using the Work Types feature (payroll settings > work types) - these create additional work types that are available to be selected by the employee when submitting their timesheets. The work types can be mapped to the employees primary pay category, a separate pay category, or a leave category. If you'd like to create a new pay category for this, you can do so by following the steps below:

 

1. Go to Payroll Settings > Pay Categories.
2. Select Add.
3. Enter your Pay Category Name then Save.
4. Complete the fields below then Save.
- Name
- Units - Hourly, Annually, Fixed, or Daily
- PAYE Tax Exempt
- Accrues Leave
- Exempt from National Insurance
- Rate Precision - option to set rate at between 0 and 5 decimal places.
