Time and expenses

The Time area separates daily capture, review, processing, and reporting so that changes remain visible throughout the payroll workflow.

Not every pay type uses every state, and configured approval workflows can add review steps. Records that fail an outbound attempt remain available for review and retry rather than being treated as successfully posted.

Before processing

Verify work periods, pay groups, rate codes, overtime rules, shift rules, and employee/job access. Processing uses the configuration effective for the entry; incorrect setup can produce incorrect payroll results even when the raw times are accurate.
