Payroll & pay periods
Approved hours, surge, overtime, tips and expenses add up per person, period by period. Close the period, export it for your payroll provider and mark it paid.
How pay adds up
- Hourly shifts: worked time (after unpaid breaks) × rate.
- Flat shifts: the flat amount.
- Per-unit shifts: the base plus units completed × the unit bonus.
- Then surge, then overtime for time past the weekly threshold (40 hours at 1.5× by default).
- Tips and approved expenses go on top.
Only approved hours count. Crew see the same numbers in their Pay tab: so far this period, waiting and approved.
Pay periods
Pay periods are created ahead of time (every two weeks by default). Open More → Payroll to see each period.
- Make sure hours are approved. Go to approvals shows what's left.
- Close pay period locks it and takes a snapshot of every pay line.
- Export CSV for your payroll provider. The export is built from the same lines crew saw.
- Mark as paid on payday. Crew are told.
Need a change after closing? Reopen the period, fix it, and close it again.
What the CSV contains
One row per person: name, email, shift hours, overtime hours, base pay, unit bonuses, surge, overtime pay, tips, expenses, adjustments and total. Only owners and admins can export, and only a closed period.
Tips and expenses (crew)
In Pay, tap Report tips for a shift (cash and card), or Add expense for mileage, parking, supplies, meals or other costs. Both wait for a manager under Approvals and then join that pay period.
Frequently asked questions
Which payroll providers does the export work with?
The export is a plain CSV with one row per person, so it can be imported or keyed into most payroll tools.
How is overtime calculated?
Time past the weekly threshold is paid at the overtime multiplier: 40 hours and 1.5× by default. Claims that would cross it need a manager's approval first.
Can crew see their pay?
Yes. The Pay tab shows earnings so far, what's waiting for approval, tips, expenses and past periods.
