Question

How do I create employee timesheets from my rostering data?

Answer

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

Warning

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

Importing rostering data
  1. Click the Timesheet menu.
  2. Click the Import Timesheets submenu.
  3. Select the Rostering 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.

    Helpful Hint

    You will now see on your screen a status message showing the successful uploading of your selected roster data into the Timesheet module.

    Showing confirmation that the roster data has been imported.
