How does PTO work for salaried employees in 7shifts Payroll?

Question

How does Paid Time Off (PTO) work for salaried employees in 7shifts Payroll?

Answer

Salaried employees in 7shifts submit Paid Time Off (PTO) requests using the same process as all other employees. Once the request is approved, 7shifts Payroll deducts the PTO hours from the employee’s assumed 40-hour workweek. PTO hours for salaried employees are not treated as additional hours beyond the regular schedule and do not result in extra payments.

For example, if a salaried employee takes 8 hours of PTO in a workweek, 7shifts Payroll pays the employee for 32 hours of salaried work and 8 hours of PTO, totaling 40 hours.

Things to know

When you enable an accrual policy, PTO accrual begins for all assigned employees on January 1st of the current year. This start date applies regardless of when you created the policy or the hire date of the employee.

• Salaried employees should not be assigned to hourly accrual PTO policies if they do not clock in and out for their shifts.
• Hourly PTO accrual relies on actual time punches and will not calculate correctly for salaried employees with an assumed 40-hour week.
• Time punches for salaried employees or managers must be excluded from 7shifts Payroll to prevent double payments.
• Salaried time punches can remain in the Time Clocking section for reporting purposes if needed.
