Payroll Shift Types allows you to add additional shift types such as:
Use 'Only' Day Shift
Use Earning Morning Shift
Use Double Time Override Shift
Use Call Back Shift
Mark Afternoon Shift as Night if shifts starts after 4pm and ends after midnight
Never Deduct Break from Any Shifts
Don't Deduct Break from Day Shifts
Don't Deduct Break from Afternoon Shifts
Don't Deduct Break from Night Shifts
Use 'Only' Day Shift
When selected, no afternoon or night shifts will be applicable. This means shifts will be paid 'Day Ordinary', 'Day Over Time' and 'Day Extra Overtime'.
Use Earning Morning Shift
When selected, 'Early Morning' shifts will be paid at the 'Day Overtime' rate from the time set in 'Early Morning shift start' to the time set in 'Day start'.
Note: The 'Early Morning shift end' field is disabled because it uses the 'Day start' time.
If the shift extends beyond this timeframe, it will follow the day shift timeframe and hour limits to allocate the relevant day rate.
Example
Example
Settings:
Early Morning shift start = 04:00
Day start = 06:00
Day end = 18:00
Day ordinary hours limit = 8.00
Day overtime hours limit = 2.00
Shift:
Start = 05:00
End = 17:00
05:00 - 06:00 = 'Day Overtime' rate
06:00 - 14:00 = 'Day Ordinary' rate
14:00 - 16:00 = 'Day Overtime' rate
16:00 - 17:00 = 'Day Extra Overtime' rate
Totals:
'Day Ordinary' = 8 hours (06:00 - 14:00)
'Day Overtime' = 2 hours (1 hour from 05:00 - 06:00 + 1 hour from 14:00 - 15:00)
'Day Extra Overtime' = 2 hours (15:00 - 17:00)
Use Double Time Override Shift
A 'Double Time Override' shift will not be selected automatically.
If enabled, you can manually set the shift to the 'Double Time Override' payroll shift type in the pay run.
When the 'Double Time Override' payroll shift type is selected, all shift hours will be paid at the 'Day Extra Overtime' rate.
Note: Night payable hours are not used
Use Call Back Shift
A 'Call Back' shift will not be selected automatically.
If enabled, you can manually set the shift to the 'Call Back' payroll shift type in the pay run.
When the 'Call Back' payroll shift type is selected, hours will be allocated to 'Day Overtime' until the limit set in "Limit of 'Overtime' hours" is reached. Any remaining hours will then be placed into 'Day Extra Overtime'.
A call back occurs when an employee is called back to work after already finishing for the day.
Note: Night payable hours are not used

When enabled:
Day Shift
Any shift that starts after the configured day start time (e.g. 6:00am).Afternoon Shift

starts after 4:00pm and finishes before midnight.

starts after 4:00pm and finishes after midnight.

Any shift that starts after the configured afternoon start time (e.g. 10:00am).Night Shift

Never Deduct Break from Any Shifts
When enabled, breaks will not be deducted from any shifts.
If not, breaks will be deducted from shifts.
Don't Deduct Break from Day Shifts
A 'Don't Deduct Break from Day Shifts' shift will not be selected automatically.
When enabled, this will ensure that breaks are not deducted from a 'day shift'.
If the shift is considered an 'day' shift, no break deduction (e.g., 0.5 hours) will apply.
Don't Deduct Breaks from Afternoon Shifts
A 'Don't Deduct Break from Afternoon Shifts' shift will not be selected automatically.
When enabled, this will ensure that breaks are not deducted from an 'afternoon shift'.
If the shift is considered an 'afternoon' shift, no break deduction (e.g., 0.5 hours) will apply.
Don't Deduct Break from Night Shifts
A 'Don't Deduct Break from Night Shifts' shift will not be selected automatically.
When enabled, this will ensure that breaks are not deducted from a 'night shift'.
If the shift is considered a 'night' shift (usually from 6 pm to 6 am), no break deduction (e.g., 0.5 hours) will apply.
For example, on a day shift, working 6 hours would mean 5.5 hours of pay. On a night shift, you get the full 6 hours of pay.
If the settings allow a mix of night and day shifts, the break will be deducted only from the day part of the shift.
But, if the rule is set to "If you start a shift at night, it's always considered night," then no break will be deducted, as the entire shift is treated as night hours.
