For some companies it may be important to create a pay code on a particular shift. Pay codes are typically used to help identify a different rate of pay on a special shift. For example, a company may offer a premium payment to employees for picking up a last minute shift. The pay code will help identify those shifts on the schedule to help ensure employees are paid accordingly. Enabling this feature is only accessible to company administrators in MakeShift.
