How do I change which day our work week starts on?

Choose Work week starts on in Settings, Payroll, Your work week and tap Save work week; overtime and every hours number, including the schedule, then count that week, and past pay runs keep their amounts.

Short answer

Go to Settings, open the Payroll tab, choose a day in Work week starts on under Your work week, and tap Save work week. Overtime is counted in that week, and every hours and overtime number in AveeCare uses it, including the schedule. Pay runs you already made keep their amounts, and your pay periods and payday do not change.

Step by step

  1. Open Settings and go to the Payroll tab.
  2. Find the Your work week card. If you have not chosen a week yet, it shows the week overtime is counted in today.
  3. Choose a day in Work week starts on. The end day is shown for you, for example Friday to Thursday.
  4. Read the note that appears. It says what moves: overtime, the schedule and weekly schedule sends.
  5. Tap Save work week.

Good to know

  • Pay runs after the change count overtime on the new week, including a run for earlier dates. Runs you already made are not recalculated.
  • Your work week and your pay period are separate. Pay periods start on and your payday stay as they are. Changing Pay periods start on later does not move overtime either.
  • The schedule follows your work week unless you choose a different Calendar starts on day. That choice only moves the calendar columns, never hours or pay.
  • On the Payroll page, the pay period settings show the same overtime week. Changing it there changes it here too.
  • Federal law lets you pick any fixed seven-day work week, but a change has to be meant to last, not made to avoid paying overtime.
