Policies are used to help calculate your employees' overtime, round their time, help track their meal breaks, and more. The policies you create will only apply to employees with the assigned policy, allowing you to create multiple policy groups to address certain groups of employees such as temp, standard employees, contract, salary, etc.
We include a default policy group that can apply to all of your general employees and new hires. If you need a different policy group for your employees, a new policy group can be created to fit your needs. Before creating a new policy group, it may help to discuss with other key decision-makers what should be enabled to ensure compliance with your local labor laws and union rules.
