How are weekly salaries calculated?

Question

How does 7shifts calculate weekly wage rates?

Answer

When using weekly salaries, the wage is equally distributed across all 7 days of the week for:

• the Locations and Departments that the user is assigned to.
• has Appear on schedule enabled in their assignments.

For example:

If a manager's total weekly salary is $1000, and they are set to appear for only two Departments (under one Location), then $500 each will be allotted to the labour costs of these two Departments.

When using 7shifts Payroll, the calculation for weekly salaries is based on 5 workdays to reflect standard workweeks. This is different from other 7shifts features, such as Labor Budget Tool  and labor reporting, which distribute wages evenly across all 7 days of the week.
