Some companies have salaried employees who also work additional hours. For example, an employee might make a salary of $800 per week, but if they punch in to a time clock, those extra hours would be paid separately at $25 per hour. To set up a scenario like this in Fingercheck, you can set scheduled earnings for the employee and make them an "hourly" employee.

How to allow a salaried employee to be paid hourly
Log in to Fingercheck as an Administrator.
Click the EMPLOYEES tab, and click the employee's name or number to open their profile.
Set up a scheduled earning.
Go to Payroll > Earnings.
Click Add.
The Add Employee Earning pop-up window appears.
From the Earning Type drop-down list, select SA - Salary.
Enter the Amount to be paid for each pay check.
Select the Rate Code.
Click Save.
Make the employee an hourly employee.
Go to Personal > Position & Rates.
Click the Edit icon (pencil) for the Pay Information section to enable editing.
From the Pay Type drop-down list, select Hourly if it's not already selected.
To ensure that the employee is paid their salary amount even if they do not punch in that week, enter a miniscule number (such as .0001) in the Automatic Paid Hours field.
This ensures that the scheduled earning (step 3 above) is still paid. It's small enough not to trigger the hourly wage, but will trigger the scheduled earning.
Click Save.
