Follow these steps to set up the foundational rules for leave approvals, pay rules, and working hours:

1. Click the Settings menu.
2. Click the People submenu.
3. Click the People Controls button.
4. Complete the following fields:
   • First Day of the Work Week: Set this (currently Sunday) to define the starting point for weekly overtime calculations.
   • Calculate Stat Pay: Select Yes or No to enable automatic Statutory Holiday Pay calculations.
   • Calculate OT Pay: Select Yes or No to enable automatic Overtime Pay calculation for hours exceeding thresholds.

To ensure the system accurately calculates Overtime (OT Pay), you must verify that your timesheet configuration requires the recording of specific start and end times.

This method provides the granular data required for automated calculations and maintains compliance with Canadian labour laws. Using "Total Hours" entries is often insufficient for calculating daily OT spikes in provinces like British Columbia and Alberta.

Guide your employees and managers to take the following actions to ensure full compliance:

• Use Start and End Times: Ensure timesheets are configured for "Start and End Time Based on Daily Entries" to track daily overtime accurately.
• Mandatory Break Recording: Use the "Add break" feature for every shift to ensure unpaid breaks are deducted correctly.
• Verify Work Site & Position: Ensure the Work Site is accurate for every shift so the system applies the correct provincial tax and holiday rules.

Regularly review your Employment Detail settings if your organization expands into new Canadian provinces or territories to ensure the automated OT and Stat Pay rules remain aligned with local legislation.
