Running payroll in Finn
How employees track their attendance
Attendance (start and end of shifts) needs to be loaded to the employee timesheet for the accurate calculation of payroll. You have a few options for getting these punches added to the timesheet:
– Upload them from an export file from your biometric device
– Upload them in bulk from Excel
– Have employees use the real and manual punches on the online timesheet to record their attendance in a browser (on a desktop or a phone)
and what happens when they forget to add a punch
In this example. the employee arrived at work on Wednesday and realized they forgot to punch out of their shift the day before. In cases such as this, the employee uses the Manual Punch option to record the punch out. Once approved, this will be included in the payroll run and prevent an absence being deducted.
How employees file for leave or overtime
Employees file for overtime and leave using their timesheet. After selecting the date they wish to file for the overtime (or leave), they click Edit to display the popup menu that asks for relevant information. In this video, the employee applies for birthday leave but has no balance.
Overtime is file the same way, just selecting OT as the payroll code in the dropdown.
... and how supervisors approve it
Supervisors have the option to approve each leave request one-by-one via their dashboard (as shown at the start of this video) or in bulk, with one click, via the Pay Period Summary shown at the end of this video.
