Understanding Employee Profiles

On the Web Portal, you can set up "Employee Profiles" to group your employees by specific minimum wage and break information.

NOTE: Employers should make themselves aware of any local, state or federal laws and regulations relating to paid breaks and paid nonproductive time before adding this information to an Employee Profile. Failure to properly pay employees for paid breaks and paid nonproductive time can result in fines or other legal ramifications. 2nd Sight does not provide legal advice regarding employee pay.

NOTE: All systems MUST have at least one Profile. The system starts with a "Default" Profile, which has a minimum wage of "0." You MUST add the minimum wage in your location to the Default Profile for the system to calculate hourly wages properly.

To create an Employee Profile:

1. Log in to the Web Portal.
2. Select Workers --> Profiles on the navigation bar.
3. A "Profiles" screen will appear.
4. Select "Add Profile," which appears in green center screen. The "Add Profile" screen will appear.
5. Give the Profile a descriptive name.
6. Enter the Minimum Wage rate.
7. Lunch, Breaks and Non Productive information is not required. If you want to set up automatic break deductions, see the information below.
8. For information about filling in the Lunch, Break and Non Productive information in a Profile, see Recording Employee Breaks.
9. Click "Save" to return to the "Profiles" screen. 

NOTE: If you want to retroactively apply Profile information to an employee's information, you MUST Recalculate on the Daily Report for the information to appear on Reports. See Apply Change Retroactively.

To edit an Employee Profile:

1. Log in to the Web Portal.
2. Select Workers --> Profiles on the navigation bar.

4. Select the name of the Profile (in green letters) you wish to edit. The "Edit Profile" screen will appear.

7. Change or add Lunch, Breaks and Non Productive information, see Recording Employee Breaks.
