Getting Started with Payroll

Prerequisites

There are a few considerations to take into account before starting with Payroll:

• Your staff should have the correct employment statuses associated with their profile
• The remuneration for your staff's shifts must be accurate
• You should already be regularly and consistently approving time entries for these shifts

Workstaff uses this information to generate your pay runs so you will not benefit from the payroll module's full potential unless your Workstaff workflow thoroughly covers these areas.

Setting Up Your Account for Payroll

When you initially navigate to the Payroll module from the Workstaff main menu, you will be presented with a form to configure the module and create your first pay run.

Choose the pay calendar in use in your organization as well as the first date of your initial pay run.

note

Workstaff allows the initial pay run to be either the current one, or the previous one.
