Staff Pay Groups - Unsociable Hours

This article only applies to RotaMaster People+ customers.

Staff Pay Groups are used to work out how many unsociable hours staff have worked for the purpose of pay unsociable hours enhancements. They are configured and then assigned to staff posts.

The groups outline;

Which hours of each day (Mon-Sun) count as Sociable Hours - or whether the whole day should be classed as unsociable.
What % of a shift must fall outside of those Sociable Hours before the whole shift is classed as unsociable.
Which hours during Bank Holidays should be classed as Sociable - or whether the whole day should be classed as unsociable.

Staff Pay Groups are configured under Finance+ > Staff Pay Groups;

To add a new Staff Pay Group, click the green plus button on the left hand side;

This will open the following window. Complete the fields;

Name for the Staff Pay Group.
Unsociable Hours % of shift that must fall outside of sociable hours before the whole shift counts as unsociable
Set as default Staff Pay Group is no longer used.

Then, to configure Sociable Hours for this group click on the group name on the left hand side;

Click on a day of the week/Bank Holidays to configure the Sociable Hours for that day and then configure the hours down at the bottom of the screen using the Social Start and Social End clocks. Any hours outside of the selected times will be classed as unsociable for any staff assigned to this Staff Pay Group.

Once configured, the Staff Pay Group can be assigned to staff in two different ways;

Staff Pay Groups can be assigned to Posts in Post Manager. All staff with that post will be assigned that Staff Pay Group. Click here to find out how.
Alternatively, they can be added to individuals on the right hand side of the Staff Pay Groups screen.

Either use the Search function to find a staff member or use the Rota Groups/Teams tree to find the appropriate team and then click the green plus button on the right hand side, which will open the Add Person box.

The Staff Group, Rota Group and Team will pull through from the selections made elsewhere on the screen, but can be changed if required.

The Person dropdown will display all staff in the selected team. Select a Staff Member and then use Person Post(s) to select the Post that this Staff Pay Group should apply to. Click Save.

This person's post now has a Staff Pay Group assigned to it and any shifts that they work will be exported in the Staff Pay Run.
