Basic knowledge, features and options

Time


Can your system be used with biometric time clocks?

Yes, iPayroll works closely with a wide range of time, attendance, and rostering interface applications. View the complete list here.

 

How do my employees record their time?

Employees can record their time worked in our electronic timesheets (Timelogs). iPayroll can also accommodate paper timesheets which you would input directly.

 

Can iPayroll work with differing work patterns?

Yes, defined work patterns are used in iPayroll to specify what hours and days an employee works. When requesting leave and the defined work pattern has been set the system will determine whether the day is normally worked and will default to the normal hours worked in that day. A work pattern can be a set shift for a week or rotating shift patterns. For example, week 1 working Monday, Wednesday and Friday and week 2 working Tuesday and Thursday.

 

Leave


Does iPayroll manage parental leave?

Yes, simply record the official start and finish dates and iPayroll will manage the process.

 

How do I know how much leave my employees are entitled to take?

Administering leave is quick and easy. You specify an employee’s entitlement when you set them up in iPayroll. When leave is recorded, the system automatically processes and updates their balances. Our flexible system can cater to different and complex requirements. You’ll be able to manage your employees’ leave balances with our wide range of leave reports.

 

Can iPayroll manage ACC leave?

Yes. iPayroll will calculate 80% of your employee's pay for the first week. Employees can check their ACC leave if you turn it on in the Employee Kiosk.

 

How can employees see their leave balances?
