The information in this article applies to accounts using uAttend Payroll. If you are not yet using uAttend Payroll, please see this article on Salaried employees.

Adding a New Salaried Employee

If uAttend Payroll is enabled, the Add Person wizard includes the option to select between hourly and salary pay for an employee. This selection will also determine the default exemption status. Hourly employees will default to non-exempt; salary employees will default to exempt. After completing the wizard and clicking Start Onboarding in their profile your employee can complete the uAttend Payroll employee self-onboarding process.

Hourly and non-exempt salary employees with timecards will count toward your plan's active user tier. Salary employees without timecards do not count toward your user limit. Administrators and Supervisors are automatically designated as salary, exempt status, and without a timecard.
