Hours per day

Hello

We work our 38 hours (9.5hrs/day) over 4 days but also work Fridays which is essentially overtime if they worked all 5days. In the setup of the employee  does it matter whether you put 9.5hrs/day over 4 days or should you put 7.6hrs /day over 5 days.

    Hi Kylie2024,

     

    Thanks for the screenshot. It doesn’t really matter if it’s 9.5 hours x 4 days or 7.6 hours x 5 days. The key thing is that the pay works out to the right amount, so if the numbers add up properly, you’re sweet.

     

    Cheers,

  • Hi Kylie2024 ,

    As long as your total "Hours Per Pay" equals 38.00, the specific breakdown of daily hours is mostly a matter of preference for your records.

     

    If you set it to 9.5 hours over 4 days (Your Screen shot), the system will correctly calculate the total pay. Since you mentioned Fridays are essentially overtime, keeping the base setup to 4 days helps clearly distinguish their standard 38-hour week from any additional hours worked on that fifth day.

     

    Essentially, if the final numbers add up correctly for the pay period, your setup is good to go!
