Pay Class

The Pay Class area allows you to set up and maintain your company's pay policies for calculating payroll hours and accrued benefit time. You can configure the pay policies such as the pay period, overtime, breaks, consecutive day overtime, benefit time accruals, as well as other advanced Pay Class features. You can also configure PayClock Online to automatically close pay periods as well.

PayClock Online has one default pay class called Standard. It's recommended to start with this pay class, modifying it as necessary.

While you can create more than one Pay Class, you should only do so when necessary.

Typical reasons to have more than one Pay Class

• Different pay period types, i.e. one group of employees are on a weekly pay period and another group of employees are on a bi-weekly pay period.
• Same pay period types but different pay period start times, i.e. one group of employees are on a weekly pay period that start on Monday and another group of employees are on a weekly pay period that starts on Wednesday.
• Different overtime rules, i.e. one group of employees accumulate weekly overtime after 40 hours per week and another group of employees accumulate weekly overtime after 39 hours and 30 minutes per week.

Please Note: You should only use multiple pay classes when necessary, as identified above. You cannot edit timecards, export, or report across multiple Pay Classes. Instead you have edit timecards, export, or report one Pay Class at a time.
