How do I change my employee’s pay settings?

Default Pay Settings

During signup, you set up pay rates and the default number of hours or salary your employee receives. Payroll will automatically run with these settings unless you make changes to the open 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 regular employer reimbursement, which is helpful if, for example, you are reimbursing your employee for driving every week. If you are concerned about forgetting to edit the upcoming payroll and potentially 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 the compensation you enter.

You can change the compensation default settings at any time. For example, if you have set a pay frequency of Semi-Monthly and an hourly wage of $20 with 30 hours of work per pay period, then Poppins Payroll will automatically calculate that the Employee should be paid a gross wage of $600 ($20 per hour multiplied by 30 hours) and provide you with the net wage amount (less applicable taxes).

Extended Payroll Adjustment Period

We know you are busy, and we would never dream of asking you to make same-day adjustments to payroll. That is why Poppins Payroll provides our clients an edit window to make any necessary manual adjustments to payroll after the close of a pay period.

This will provide you with time to make adjustments to payroll and ensure that it is accurate before it is paid to your employee. If the employee has worked more or fewer hours than their default pay settings, you need to add overtime or a bonus, or any other change, you can make those edits in the Payroll section before the edit window closes. Your edit window timeframe will be listed at the top of the Payroll section. Of course, if there aren't any changes, you do not need to do anything!
