Staff

Pay your team and keep their balances straight

Each person's pay starts from a date you choose, and the earlier terms stay in their history. From there you pay, check the statement and settle everything when someone leaves.

4 things it does

Change how one person is paid, from a date you choose

Professional only

How do I change how one staff member is paid from a certain date? A staff member's Pay setup tab sets how they are paid, from which date, their weekly off, standard day and shift start. Changes are made from a date, and the tab keeps the pay history.

Without it

A worker's pay changes, but the old terms are hard to find afterwards. Was it the old rate or the new one in the middle of March?

With it

Each person has a Pay setup tab. You choose how they are paid, from which date, and the new terms start on that date, while the earlier ones stay in the history.

Choose the basis: by the month, the week, the day, the hour, or not on pay. Set the amount and the date it starts from, along with their weekly off, standard working day and shift start. Overtime can be set too. To make a change, use Change pay from a date, and the pay history keeps each earlier setting.

See who is owed what, and pay them from one page

Professional only

How do I pay a staff member what is owed to them? The Pay page lists who is owed what. Pay one person up to a date, or pay everyone, and a sentence says what will leave which account.

Without it

At payday you work out by hand what each person is owed. Then you have to remember which account the money comes out of, and check it twice.

With it

The Pay page lists who is owed what. Choose one person and a date, or pay the whole team, and one sentence says what will leave which account.

To pay one person, choose the date to pay up to, and the working appears beside your choices. Week-end and month-end shortcuts sit under the date box. To pay the team, you see one line for each person, with the amount and the account, and you can change either. People who are left out are listed with the reason.

Pay one person, or everyone, and see what leaves which account.

See each advance, payslip and payment for one person, line by line

Professional only

Can I see every advance, payslip and payment for one staff member? The Statement tab lists each advance, payslip and payment for a person, with the balance after each line. It also shows what they have earned since the last payslip.

Without it

A worker asks what they are still owed, and the answer is in a notebook and in your head. You cannot show them where each figure came from.

With it

The Statement tab lists each advance, payslip and payment with the balance after it. It also shows what the person has earned since the last payslip.

Open a staff member and choose the Statement tab. The balance shows in words at the top, with the loan beside it. Each line gives the date, what it was, its document, what was earned, what went out or was lent, and the balance after that line. Earnings since the last payslip sit above the lines, with their days, and are not a line of their own.

Every advance, payslip and payment, with the balance left after each.

  • see every advance and payslip for one employee
  • software that shows what an employee is owed

Settle a leaver's pay in one step, so no balance is left owed

Professional only

What happens to a staff member's pay when they leave the shop? Archive pays what is owed to a paid person in one step, then archives them with their last day. Archive is refused while the shop still owes the person.

Without it

A cook leaves on their last day, and nobody is sure what is still owed to them. Weeks later there is an argument about an advance and a few days of work.

With it

Archive settles what is owed in one step, then archives the person with their last day. The shop cannot archive someone it still owes.

When someone leaves, choose Archive on their page. For a person on pay, a final pay dialog works out what is owed up to their last day, and shows the working. The final pay is recorded as one step, and then the person is archived with that last day. An advance or loan still held is either left owed by the person or written off with a reason you give. Archive is refused if the shop still owes them, or if they have worked days no payslip covers.
