Monitoring the comings and goings of your staff could translate to a full-time job in itself!
When you have employees who sometimes work longer than a regular eight-hour shift – a shift of at least 10 hours – employers are required to pay them for an extra hour. This is known as the ‘spread of hours’ pay rule. It can get a bit confusing, so here are the basics you need to know.

That’s why when it comes to employee payroll, you don’t need any more surprises.
