Summary

Payroll Policies Page

XactTime uses payroll policies to store and apply the rules governing attendance, lunches
and breaks, overtime, and pay periods. You may have more than one set of rules within an
organization, so XactTime permits you to maintain many payroll policy templates. You
assign to each employee the appropriate payroll policy.
Payroll policies play a vital role in time management and every employee must be assigned
to a payroll policy, therefore you must set at least one payroll policy. XactTime includes a
predefined payroll policy titled Default Payroll Policy which may be rename and redefined.
You may create additional policies later as well.
