Wages, payroll & the shift ledger

1. Open Compensation as the owner.
2. Pick an employee and add a wage record: hourly rate, overtime threshold (default 40h/week), and overtime multiplier (default 1.5×).
3. New shifts use the current wage automatically. Older shifts keep the wage that was in effect when they happened.

When you approve a shift in the attendance queue, Work Pilot computes gross pay right then using the employee's wage record, subtracts breaks, and applies overtime past the threshold. The number lands on the shift and the payroll roster instantly.

Time off is not paid — it blocks scheduling but never enters the ledger.

1. Open Payroll → tap an employee to see their shift ledger.
2. Tap Record payment, enter the amount and optional reference (cheque #, e-Transfer ID, etc.).
3. Work Pilot walks from the oldest unpaid shift to the newest, marking each fully paid, partially paid, or untouched — so partial payments never leave you guessing.
4. The Outstanding balance updates immediately across the roster.

Employees open Compensation to see only their own shift ledger and payment history. They never see other employees' wages, hours, or balances. Tap any shift for full clock in/out location, GPS accuracy, geofence status, breaks, and notes.
