Default overrides are settings that are automatically applied whenever a new job entry is created. They ensure certain options or values are prefilled based on your production setup.

You can define default overrides at the Company, Production, Crew, or Job level. If multiple levels define the same override, the Job level takes priority over Crew, Crew over Production and Production over Company.

• Lunch deduction — A preset that automatically applies the standard lunch deduction whenever hours are clocked. It can still be changed on each job entry if needed.
• Clock time rounding — Ensures that clock-in and clock-out times are rounded to the set interval. For example, times may round to the nearest 5, 10, or 15 minutes depending on your production rules. This helps standardize time entries across your crew.
• Per diem rate set — Which of the rate sets on your accounting page a per diem starts from. The set decides what each meal is worth, how much of it is tax free, and which salary types the two halves are paid into. It can still be changed on the entry itself.

Per diem amounts is not one of these, though it sits on the same page. Whether the amounts a rate set states can be typed over is asked once, of the production, and binds every job under it — so there is nothing for a job or a crew member to answer. See Per Diem

Overrides is a way for you to give additional inputs to the processor. It could be everything from turning a calculation parameter on / off, adding travel time, or saying that this day should be a part of an weekly average calculation.

Only overrides known by the processor will be displayed as an option when you edit your job entry.

Must not be confused with Adding Payment. If you made an agreement with your employer on the fly that it will be paid a special way, and it can not be handled by the processor. You can add or edit payment lines after the calculation has been done. Note that this change will follow whatever processor you may add later. These changes are separately tracked so you easily can find out who and when the change happened.

See: Travel Time, Lunch Deduction.

Travel Time has two main options:

1. Enter minutes traveled before and/or after your workday.
2. If the entire day is spent traveling, select Yes under Travel day. It then uses the clock in and out times as travel times.

The Processor will know how much travel time that needs to be deducted, so enter your actual travel duration.

In some cases, there may be more than one rule for deductions — choose the correct one under Travel Time Deduction.

Note: If you are the driver of a car, this time usually counts as work time, not travel time. Check with your production for guidance.

Lunch Deduction is applied when an employee is provided lunch. This ensures the meal’s value is reported correctly for taxation purposes.

On a workday, pick the right one under Select from preset… and the amount fills itself in, or type an amount straight into the field. A deduction takes money off the day, so it is 0 or a negative number.

Picking one only fills the amount in — the number then lives on the workday, so a later change to the list never moves a deduction already taken.

If you want an option to be selected automatically when adding a workday, you can set a default override when editing the job or by contacting your production.

The amounts on the menu are set by your company, and a production can differ from it — see Lunch Deductions.
