How do I update my employee's default pay settings?

Default Pay Settings

During signup, you set up pay rates and the usual number of hours or salary your employee receives. Payroll will automatically run with these settings unless you make changes to payroll prior to the payroll deadline.

Setting up default pay settings is great for employees who work the same schedule each pay period. You can also add a recurring employer reimbursement, which is helpful if, for example, you are reimbursing your employee for driving every week.

If you are concerned about forgetting to change the payroll manually and overpaying your employee, you can always set the default payroll to zero!

Automatic Calculations

If you don't have any changes to make to payroll, then there is no need for you to log in each pay period. Easy! Poppins Payroll will automatically calculate the payroll based on the pay frequencies and at the compensation you set in the default pay settings.

For example, if you have set a pay frequency of biweekly and an hourly wage of $20 with 60 hours of work per pay period, then Poppins Payroll will automatically calculate that the Employee should be paid a gross wage of $1200 ($20 per hour multiplied by 60 hours) and provide you with the net wage amount (less applicable taxes).

If you pay with direct deposit and the hours don't fluctuate, our system will run at those settings and pay the employee automatically each payroll!

You can change the compensation default pay settings at any time!
