Payroll Management

Here’s the process for setting up payroll settings in the SoftPoint POS system:

1. Access Payroll Settings: Log into the SoftPoint dashboard and go to "Configuration" > "Payroll."
2. Clock-In Settings: Choose whether employees need to clock in/out on the SoftPoint system. Set it to "External POS" for automatic clock-in when they log into the device from an External POS, or "Disabled" if not required.
3. Payroll Period: Set the payroll period (e.g., semi-monthly, bi-weekly, weekly, etc.). Define the next payroll period's start date.
4. Work Week Start: Specify the start of the work week (e.g., Saturday or Tuesday).
5. Overtime Rules:
   • Daily Overtime: Set the daily overtime rule (e.g., pay 1.5 times after 8 hours).
   • Weekly Overtime: Set the weekly overtime rule based on hours worked per week.
6. Holiday Pay: Define holiday pay rates (e.g., base pay, overpay, or no pay for holidays).
7. Time Off Requests: Limit the number of employees who can request time off on any given day, and set a minimum advance notice for time-off requests (e.g., 14 days).
8. Time Between Punches: Set rules for the minimum time employees must wait between punches (e.g., 5 minutes or 60 minutes).
9. Forgotten Clock-Out: Set a rule for automatic clock-out if an employee forgets to clock out after a set period (e.g., after 2 or 14 hours).
10. Tip Declaration: Decide if employees must declare tips at the end of their shift.
11. Overtime for Salaried Employees: Choose whether salaried employees should be eligible for overtime, based on their salary.
12. Manager Notifications: Enable notifications for managers when employees hit overtime.
13. Breaks and Pay:
    • Set mandatory paid and unpaid break times for employees based on hours worked (e.g., a 10-minute paid break every 4 hours).
14. Holiday Observations: List the holidays observed by the SoftPoint system.

This setup ensures your payroll system is tailored to your business's specific requirements.
