Special Pay is an add-on feature that adds labor compliance penalties based on imported POS labor data and configured rules. These penalties are included in the following Labor Compliance Reports: 

  • Labor Efficiency Potential Report
  • Payroll Exceptions Report
  • Special Pay Trend Report
  • Special Pay Infraction Trend Chart
  • Special Pay Infractions Dashboard Widget


To enable Special Pay, please contact R365 Support and submit an Add-On form.


Once enabled, Special Pay Rule Sets must be configured. Only R365 Support can change or create Special Pay Rule Sets. 

  • Important Note: Restaurant 365, including any individual representatives thereof, is not a legal authority. As such, we are not able to provide guidance in the configuration of any Special Pay Rule configurations. Special Pay Rule configurations are set up at the customer's direction. Please check with the appropriate legal authority or labor specialist as to the correct interpretation of your state’s labor laws.

 
Once configured, Special Pay configurations can be viewed on the Special Pay Rule Config and Special Pay Location Assignments pages. Special Pay can be included on Custom Payroll Exports. Learn more about Custom Exports here. 


Review and submit the forms below to request R365 Support create or adjust Special Pay Rule Sets.  


Rule Set Groups


Special Pay Rules are grouped into Rule Sets. Each Location can be assigned to only one Rule Set. 

The Rule Set form is used to create new Rule Sets or adjust any of the following for an existing Rule Set:

  • Rule Name

  • Rule Set Options

  • Locations Assigned

  • Included Rules 
    • Note: Additional forms for each Rule will need to be submitted to add or adjust the selected Rules. See the Rule list below. 

Special Pay Rules


Each Special Pay Rule has Rule-specific configurations. 


Submit a request form for each Rule that needs to be created or adjusted. 

  • Note: Rules can be applied to multiple Rule Sets. This allows for different configurations of the Rule for different Locations. To ensure that the correct configuration is applied to each Rule Set, please submit one form for each Rule Set/Rule combination.
