Pay Type Definitions

The following pay types are available in the TimeForce system:

Hourly

The amount of pay that an hourly employee receives is calculated from the number of hours on their time card, and their specified pay rate.  Additional policies can be set up to award employees with an accelerated pay rate (such as overtime, premium pay, etc.).

All types of "overtime" can be applied to hourly employees.

Salaried (Exempt)

The amount of pay that a "Salaried (Exempt)" employee receives is not calculated from the hours on the employee's time card.  The employee receives the same amount of pay regardless of the number of hours worked.

The Pay Rate and Units are specified for each employee.
Example: An employee receives $25,000 per year.  "25000.00" would be entered into the first box in the Pay Rate field.  "Annually" would be selected from the drop-down menu.

Although the system will track overtime hours for a "Salaried (Exempt)" employee, no accelerated rate of pay will be given for the overtime hours worked.

In order to receive pay for a pay period, employees must have at least one minute on their time card.  Salaried employees receive a full pay period's pay for any number of hours worked.

Salaried (Non Exempt)

With the exception of pay for overtime hours, the amount of pay that a "Salaried (Non Exempt)" employee receives is not calculated from the hours on the employee's time card.  The employee receives the same amount of pay regardless of the number of hours worked.

The Pay Rate and Units are specified for each employee.
Example: An employee receives $550 per week.  "550.00" would be entered into the first box in the Pay Rate field.  "Weekly" would be selected from the drop-down menu.

Unlike a "Salaried (Exempt)" employee, a "Non Exempt" employee can earn an accelerated rate of pay for overtime hours worked.
Important: Non Exempt employees will receive pay for "Weekly" overtime only.  No other type of overtime (as in "Daily," or "7 Day Consecutive") will be applied to the employee.  In order for a salaried employee to receive weekly overtime, the "units" in the Pay Rate field must match the employee's pay period.  For example, if an employee is assigned to a "Weekly" pay period, their pay rate units must also be set to "Weekly."  If an employee is assigned to a "Daily" pay period, their pay rate units must also be set to "Daily," etc.

In order to receive pay for a pay period, employees must have at least one minute on their time card.  Salaried employees receive a full pay period's pay for any number of hours worked.

Commission (Non Base)

A "Commission (Non Base)" employee does not receive an hourly or salaried pay rate.  All wages are earned through disbursement entries at the time clock.

Although the system will track overtime hours for this type of employee, no accelerated pay rate will be awarded for overtime hours worked.

Commission (Base)

A "Commission (Base)" employee receives a salary in addition to any pay from disbursement entries at the time clock.

Although the system will track overtime hours for this type of employee, no accelerated pay rate will be awarded for overtime hours worked.
