How do I settle workers' pay by day wage, half day wage, kilo harvested or contract?

In Owari Agro every task is recorded with its pay type, by full day wage, half day wage or kilo, and its value is calculated; to pay, in Accounts payable you check the pending tasks, review each worker's breakdown with their advances and tap Pay. Contracts are recorded with their value, but this settlement doesn't add them in.

1. Every task carries its pay type

In Task log > Record task > «Individual» you choose the worker, the plot, the task and the Work mode:

  • Day wage: with «Wage type» Full day, the total is the «Daily wage»; with Medium, half of it.
  • Kg: only in the Harvest and Final pick tasks. You enter the «Kg harvested» and the total is kilos times the «Price Kg».
  • Contracts: you choose the worker's «Contract», and the task's total stays at zero.

The daily wage and the price per kilo come suggested from Farm details (how to set them up).

2. Contracts

On the Contracts tab of the Task log you enter the «Employee», the «Contract terms», the start and end dates, the «Plot», the «Task» and the Contract value. Since contract tasks stay at zero, that value isn't included in the Accounts payable settlement: it's recorded in the contract. Contracts are available from the Harvest plan up; day wage and kilo, on every plan.

3. Settle in Accounts payable

  1. Open Accounts payable > «Pending payment». At the top you see «Missing payments», «Employees pending settlement» and «Total to pay».
  2. Find the worker and check their tasks, or use «Select page».
  3. Tap Pay. In «Pay bill» you see each task with its date, its details (full or half day wage, or kilos) and its value, plus the totals.
  4. If it's a single worker, their advances and what will be deducted show up below. We explain it in how to deduct advances.
  5. Check the «Total to pay» and tap Pay.

If you settle several workers at once, advances aren't deducted, and the system warns you: «To deduct advances, the settlement must be done individually.».

After paying

Everything is saved in one go: the tasks are marked as paid, the advances deducted and the payment recorded with its invoice number. In Paid you can look up each payment and download its PDF invoice. If a payment was wrong, someone with permission to delete can undo it from there: the tasks go back to pending and the advances get their balance back. A paid task can't be deleted.

Settling needs a connection. The Owari Assistant, a built-in artificial intelligence agent, can also settle with a worker if you ask it, showing you the breakdown first so you can confirm. To know how much to pay while you're away, see weekly pay from another city.
