Spread of Hours

Spread of Hours Rules add an additional hour of pay at a configured minimum wage for Employees whose start time and end time for a business day exceed a specified hour threshold.

For Locations applied to a Spread of Hours Rule, Users will receive ‘Spread of Hours’ warnings when creating or publishing shifts, and projected Spread of Hours earnings will be included in Scheduled Labor reporting. 

Any Spread of Hours earnings will be included in Actual Labor $ and Actual Labor % amounts for Labor Trends, OT Performance, and the Actual vs Scheduled Report. Spread of Hours earnings can be viewed on the Daily Sales Summary when reviewing Labor.
