Monthly
A fixed wage for the month, adjusted for the days actually worked.
What it does
Monthly, weekly and daily pay in one shop
Each worker has his own pay cycle. They all sit in one shop.
Most small shops pay more than one way, and most apps make you pick one.
On paper
The monthly people are in the register. The daily people are on a slip of paper, or in your head.
In DailyPlus
Everybody is in the same list, each on the pay they were promised.
Weekly
A week at a time, counted from the day you choose. Common for helpers and kitchen staff.
Daily
A rate for a day’s work. Mark the day, and the day is what is owed.
What if…
- What if I change somebody from daily to monthly?
- Change it, and the new cycle starts from then. What is already recorded stays as it was.
- What if I raise a wage in the middle of a month?
- Put in the new wage from the date it starts. Days before that keep the old rate.
- What if somebody is paid per piece?
- DailyPlus works on days, not pieces. You can add the extra as a bonus beside the wage.
Where this matters most
Questions people ask
How is a monthly wage split into days?
By the days in that month, unless you set it differently. The daily wage page explains both ways of counting.
Can two workers have different week start days?
Yes. Each cycle is that worker’s own.
