WORKFLOW
Time & Payroll Tracking workflow
Record shifts as chronological timelines so payroll does not depend on manual counting.
01
Record each shift as a timeline, not a single manual entry. This makes start, breaks, and end times clear and reviewable. Payroll totals become explainable when questions come up.
02
Define the states that mark when a shift opens, runs, and closes. This keeps time tracking consistent across the team. It also sets clear boundaries for reporting and exports.
03
Export shift timelines and totals in formats payroll teams can use. Reduce manual counting and reconcile faster when exceptions happen. Keep an audit trail that ties numbers back to the shift.
