Wage-based Roles in 7shifts

In 7shifts, you can assign either a single wage rate or multiple pay rates to employees. By default, each employee has a single hourly wage for all shifts, regardless of the role they work. However, if your business needs require different wages for different roles, you can enable Wage-based Roles, allowing you to set specific pay rates per role.

Before setting wages, decide if your employees will have: 

  • A Single Wage Rate: One consistent wage across all roles.
  • Wage-based Roles: Different wages for each role assigned to the employee. The wage applied to a shift will be based on both the Role they were assigned to work and the individual wage assigned to that Role under the employee's profile.

Prerequisites

⚠️ The Wage-based Roles setting is also required to use Wage Sync (offered with select POS integrations).

⚠️ This setting will not impact salaried employees.


Follow these steps to enable and setup Wage-based roles:

    1. Log in to the web app as an Admin.

    2. In the left navigation bar, head to Settings (or your profile icon at the top right) > Company Settings > Labor & Compliance.

    3. Checkmark the box next to Wage-based roles to allow separate wages for each role:

    4. Be sure to hit Save to compete these changes.

    5. After enabling, set the individual wages/pay rates based on the roles assigned. Go to Team > Employees > select the specific employee > Wages and payment:



    6. Hit Save to complete these changes.
