Company Settings Introduction

While there are many options available in Company Settings, we will focus on the most commonly used.

• Go to Manage and click on Company Settings.
  
• Click the Time and Attendance tab.
  
• Click Edit towards the top-right to update your settings.
  
• Set up your pay period.
  
  • Pay Period Schedule - Select the desired pay schedule for your organization.
    • Weekly
    • Every 2 Weeks
    • Twice a Month
    • Every 4 Weeks
    • Once a Month
  • Next Period Starts - Use the calendar to specify when the next pay period starts. It may help to use a previous pay period so it covers your current pay period.
• Next, scroll down and select the first day of your work week. This is typically, but not always, the same as the first day of the pay period selected above. 
  
• As a best practice, it is also recommended that you enable Pay Period Closing. This will give administrators the ability to close out and lock all time data for a given pay period. Note that you cannot close a pay period that is current, and closing a (previous) pay period is a manual process. If you would like a reminder to close pay periods at the right time, check the box to Enable finalize time alert. This alert is displayed in the time card section and is simply a reminder to finalize all edits to time cards before closing them out.
  
• Click the Other tab.
  
• If you intend to use Groups or work crews in the mobile application, make sure to check the box to Show employee, location, cost code, and equipment groups in ExakTime Mobile.
  
• Select the appropriate Time Zone for the area you are in. If your employees work across multiple time zones, select the time zone that your main office is located in.
  
• Save your changes when finished.
