At times, the payroll process for a business requires flexibility in how staff are scheduled and how they are subsequently paid. SuperSalon allows you to configure multiple pay periods, for multiple employees. This allows several forms of payroll to be tabulated at the same time.
This article will show you the step-by-step process for creating a new pay period in the current versions of the POS, along with the steps applied to earlier versions of the point of sale.
Step One: From anywhere in SuperSalon, click or tap the Setup tab, then select the Payroll/Bonuses sub-menu.
