Shift payroll settings

How site administrators tell HosPortal which shifts count as regular work and which count as on-call for timesheet calculation.

Shift payroll settings tell HosPortal which of your shifts count as regular work and which count as on-call when timesheets are calculated. This is what lets the system split each person's hours correctly for pay.

On your Admin page, search for "shift payroll" and open Shift payroll settings (it sits under the Timesheets section).

Click the +Add button. A pop-up window will appear where you set up the rule:

Name: a label for the rule, for example "Registrar Shifts".

Start date and End date: the period this rule is in effect. Leave the end date blank if it has no end.

Applies to users: who the rule covers. Choose roles and pick the relevant roles (for example, Registrar).

Regular shifts: define which shifts count as regular work. Click + Add shift selector to choose them (for example, in roster groups → On Call, Allocations), and + Add a filter to narrow the selection further if you need to.

On-call shifts: define which shifts count as on-call in exactly the same way.

Click Save. The setting appears in the list with a revision number and a summary of who it applies to. Editing a setting later creates a new revision, so your history is preserved.

You can add several settings at once — for example, different rules for different roles or date ranges — and HosPortal applies whichever ones match each shift.
