Link employee to work schedule
There are many advantages when it comes to linking work schedules to employees. You’ll automatically get help calculating the correct overtime for part-time employees and the right compensation for overtime. You can also see when unsociable hours pay should be paid, while absence hours, such as sick leave and parental leave, are handled correctly in the pay run. On top of that, flex time and seasonal working hours are easier to manage.
Under Settings - Payroll settings and the Work schedules tab, you click on the 
icon in the Employee column to see which employees who are linked to the work schedule.
