How to Set Up Wages

In this article, we'll cover how to enable and set up wages for your employees within Pabau.

The wages feature is powered by the time tracking function and allows you to determine how much each staff member should be paid based on their working hours and other criteria.

With this feature, you can:

• Define if a staff member should receive a wage through Pabau.
• Specify the working hours the staff member should be paid for.
• Set the wage amount the staff member should receive.
• Decide whether the staff member is eligible for overtime pay.
• Set how much they should be paid for overtime.

Step 1: Access the Team Section

Log into your Pabau account and navigate to the "Team" option in the left sidebar menu. Then, select "Team" again to open the team management section.

Step 2: Select an Employee

Click on the employee whose wages you wish to set up. This will open their profile page. On the left-hand side of the profile, click on the "Wages" tab.

Note: Only staff members with permission to edit staff details will see this option.

Step 3: Enable Timesheets & Wages

To activate the wages settings, toggle the "Timesheets & Wages" feature to on. Once this is enabled, the wages and timesheet settings for the employee will become applicable, and wages will be tracked accordingly.

Step 4: Define Compensation Type

In the "Compensation Type" section, select how the staff member will be paid. You can only select one option at a time:

• None: No wage will be calculated or paid.
• Hourly: The staff member will be paid per hour worked.
• Weekly: The staff member will receive a set amount of money at the end of each week.
• Per Month: The staff member will receive a set amount at the end of each month.
• Per Year: The staff member's yearly salary will be divided by 12, and a monthly amount will be paid out.

Step 5: Set the Rate

In the "Rate" field, enter the amount to be paid to the staff member according to the compensation type selected.

Step 6: Define Regular Working Hours

In the "Regular Working Hours" field, input the expected number of hours the staff member is required to work.

Step 7: Define the Timeframe

In the "Type" field, specify whether the "Regular Working Hours" apply per day or per week.

Step 8: Set Up Overtime Pay

If the staff member is eligible for overtime pay, enable the "Overtime Pay" checkbox. When enabled, you will need to define the following:

• Overtime Type: Choose whether the staff member will be paid for overtime by the hour or using a multiplier. This option is available only if the staff member is paid hourly.
• Hourly Rate: If the overtime type is set to hourly, input the hourly rate for overtime. If using the multiplier option, enter a decimal number to multiply the regular wage.

Step 9: Save the Changes

Once you’ve completed the wage setup, click on the "Save" button in the top-right corner of the page to apply your settings.

From now on, wages for the selected employee will be automatically calculated based on the hours tracked through the time tracking feature and reflected in the Team report. This ensures accurate payroll based on the predefined rates, hours, and overtime settings.
