Understanding Employment Types
Full‑Time Employees
Full‑time employees are typically paid a fixed monthly salary. Cost is estimated by deriving an hourly rate from salary and base hours, then multiplying by worked hours (from shifts). Overtime logic (see Overtime Calculations) applies only to full‑time employees.
- You set salary (and optionally how the hourly rate is derived) per employee.
- The employment type defines the base hours (norm) per month—either a fixed number or calculated from a frequency (e.g. work cycle or selected weekdays).
Hourly Employees
Hourly employees are paid by the hour. You set an hourly wage per employee. Cost = hours worked × hourly wage. There is no overtime calculation for hourly employees in the app; all worked hours are treated the same.
Daily (Fixed Day) Employees
Daily (or fixed day) employees are paid a fixed amount per day worked. You set a daily wage per employee. Cost = number of days with assigned shifts × daily wage. There is no hourly rate or overtime logic for daily employees.
Custom Employment Types
Besides the built‑in pay modes (full‑time, hourly, daily), you can create custom employment types (e.g. "Full‑time kitchen", "Part‑time hourly"). Each type has a name, a pay basis (full‑time, hourly, or daily), and—for full‑time—norm settings (base hours, frequency). Custom types behave like the standard ones for pay and cost.
