Time Buckets

Control how, when, and where pay rates are applied across your workforce

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Time buckets give you powerful flexibility to control how, when, and where pay rates are applied across your workforce. They allow you to break working hours into specific segments — for example evenings, weekends, or overnight shifts — so that different pay rates are automatically applied without the need for manual adjustments.

By setting up time buckets, you can handle even complex pay structures with confidence, ensuring accuracy, saving time, and reducing errors. Time buckets are usually configured with the support of your Customer Success Manager, who can guide you through tailoring them to your business needs.


Add New Time Bucket

  1. Select the System Settings tile.

  2. Go to the Time Buckets section.

  3. Click + Add New Time Bucket at the top of the screen.

  4. Enter the required details to define the time bucket (e.g., time ranges, days of the week).

  5. Save your changes.

⚠️ Always review with your Customer Success Manager before setting up or editing time buckets to ensure they align correctly with your pay rules.


Use Case

  • Customer Success Managers typically configure time buckets during initial setup.

  • Super User Payroll staff can also be trained to set up or adjust time buckets where needed.


💡 Tips

  • Keep naming conventions clear (e.g., Weekend Overtime, Night Shift).

  • Regularly review your time buckets to ensure they still match current business practices.

  • Remember: the more precise your time buckets, the less manual correction you’ll need later.
