Administration - Transfer to Payroll

Once an Attendance Record has been approved, employees' worked hours and overtime (OT) data can be transferred to Payroll to be included in the monthly pay run. This process has two main stages: 

(1) transferring data from Attendance to Payroll, and 

(2) extracting and applying that data within Payroll

Stage 1: Transfer to Payroll (from Attendance)

  1. Go to Attendance and click on Administration.
  2. Click on Transfer to Payroll button.
  3. Select the relevant period Period selection.
  4. (Optional) Select the Client / Location / Project to filter records Client Location Project filter.
  5. Click Search button to retrieve all approved attendance records for the selected period.

  7. Click Transfer button to initiate the transfer.

Note: Only attendance records that have been approved will appear in the list. Ensure all required records are approved before proceeding.

Stage 2: Extracting the Information in Payroll

After initiating the transfer from Attendance, you must populate the worked hours and OT details into the relevant pay fields within Payroll.

  1. Go to Payroll and click Payroll module button.
  2. Click on Attendance data sub-tab. The transferred records will be visible under Pending OT tab. Note that this page is view-only — the timing details cannot be edited here.

  3. Review the details, then:
    • Click Transfer individual record button to transfer data for an individual staff member, or
    • Click Transfer all button to transfer data for all staff on the list at once.
  4. Click on the Sub-tab sub-tab to review the transferred data. Make any necessary edits if required.
  5. Select the staff whose attendance details you want to finalise, then:
    • Click Update individual button to update an individual employee, or
    • Click Update all button to update all staff on the list at once.

Note: Once updated, the actual hours and/or OT pay elements will be reflected on each employee's Pay Information page and included in the monthly pay run.
