Create timesheets from rota data on Payroll classic FAQ

Updated

Available for the following Payroll plans: Free Payroll, Core Payroll

Question

How do I create employee timesheets from my rota data?

Answer

You can use the Timesheet Importing feature to import the data stored within your employee rotas, with this information being converted into timesheet entries.

Warning

Timesheets will only flow from Employment Hero to your payroll classic platform, i.e. this data connection is not bidirectional, and any timesheet submissions made in the payroll classic platform will not flow through to Employment Hero HR. We advise you to submit any timesheet via the HR platform's Timesheet feature.

Importing rota data
  1. Click the Timesheet menu.
  2. Click the Import Timesheets submenu.
  3. Select the Rota option in the Import Timesheets drop-down.

  4. Complete the following fields:

    • Data range.
    • Locations.
    • Pay Schedule.
    • Approve timesheets.

    Helpful Hint

    The Approve Timesheets option allows you to choose whether the platform automatically approves the timesheets being imported or whether they need to go through your organisation's timesheet approval workflow.

  5. Click the Import button.
