Workweek
Set the payroll timezone and workweek start day, choose the first covered week, and understand when the calendar becomes fixed.
No login required. Opens in one click.
Open Payroll rules in Settings to set the payroll timezone and Workweek start day. The timezone defines payroll midnight; the start day defines each recurring seven-day workweek.
Set the first covered week
Press Set up payroll, choose the calendar and Effective week starts, then explicitly choose No overtime rules or Configure overtime rules. Press Save version to record the setup.
The effective date must fall on the selected workweek start day. Earlier weeks have no recorded payroll rules until you add a dated version covering them.
Correct the calendar
Before work has been recorded, you can change the calendar by using Correct version on the only active version. Enter a Reason and review the original and replacement before saving. All active versions must use the same calendar.
See Payroll rules for dated rule changes and retained history.
Common questions
- Does correcting payroll rules edit existing time entries?
No. Recorded entry dates and clock times stay the same. A correction replaces the rules used for affected payroll weeks and keeps the original version and reason in history.
- Is the workweek the same as an employee's pay schedule?
No. The payroll workweek controls weekly calculation boundaries. Each employee's pay schedule is managed separately on Employee Pay.
Clockspot keeps clock-ins, corrections, approvals, and payroll-ready hours connected so owners and managers can review the workweek before payroll.
