Open **Settings** from the sidebar. The page has two tabs: **General Settings**
and **White-Label Branding** (see [Branding](/admin/branding)).

## Organization details

Under **Organization Details**, set your organization's identity:

* **Organization Name** (required)

## Payroll settings

Under **Payroll Settings**, configure how hours and pay are calculated:

  overtime (commonly 40).
* **Overtime Multiplier** — the overtime rate, typically **1.5×** (time and a half).
* **Date Format** — `MM/DD/YYYY (US)`, `DD/MM/YYYY (International)`, or
  `YYYY-MM-DD (ISO)`.
