Staff System Settings

The Staff Settings area allows you to configure global default rates and payroll periods for your organization. These settings apply to staff members unless overridden at the individual level.

Accessing Settings

Navigate to Staff in the admin sidebar, then click on the Settings tab.

Global Rates & Accrual

• Session Leader Rate (£): The default hourly rate paid to staff marked as "Session Leaders" on a shift. This overrides their base rate for that specific session.
• Standard Rate (£): The fallback hourly rate for staff if no specific rate is set on their profile.
• Holiday Accrual Rate (%): The percentage of hours worked that employed staff accrue as holiday pay.
  • Default: Typically 12.07% (based on the statutory 5.6 weeks holiday).

Payment Configuration

• Monthly Payment Start Day: The day of the month your payroll period begins.
  • Example: If set to 26th, the pay period runs from the 26th of the current month to the 25th of the next month.
• Self-Employed Payment Frequency: Choose whether self-employed contractors are paid Monthly or Weekly.
• Employed Payment Frequency: Choose whether employed staff are paid Monthly or Weekly.

Saving Changes
