Tags are a way to connect staff with specific rules. By assigning staff with the appropriate tags, you'll be able to classify your staff and ensure the right rules match the right staff.
What's covered in this guide?
How to Use Tags
Earnings (or classification) tags help you differentiate staff and apply different rules to them, based on their classification. Examples include:
Salaried
Hourly
Overtime pay
Higher rate (e.g. when working in another department)
Any other category your workforce requires
Once tags are created, you will need to apply them to staff. Tags can be applied individually or in bulk.
Create and Manage Tags
You can create new tags and edit or delete existing ones.
To create a tag:
Go to Time & Attendance > Compliance > Classification Tags > Manage.
Enter the new tag in the Create a new earnings tag field.
Click the green + icon.
To manage an existing tag:
Go to Time & Attendance > Compliance > Classification Tags > Manage:
To rename: click on the tag name
To delete: click Delete
Tag Staff Individually
You can assign tags to a single staff member within their profile.
Go to Workforce > Staff > Employee name > Pay Conditions.
Select Edit Current Pay Conditions.
Choose From Start of Current Pay Cycle or From Start of Previous Pay Cycle.
