The Pay Rules Card within Empeon's Time and Attendance integration helps establish key settings that align the attendance system with the organization's payroll processes. These settings ensure that time and attendance records link correctly to the appropriate payroll batch, streamlining the flow of data between the two systems. While the card contains a few specific options, its overall purpose is to maintain consistency between the attendance system and the organization's payroll parameters.
To view and maintain these settings, navigate to the Attendance section of the Company tab and select the Pay Rules Card.
Within the Pay Rules Card, there are four settings to consider:
- Use Unprocessed History - Activating this setting enables the system to access time and attendance records that have not yet been included in a payroll batch. This provides flexibility for making last-minute corrections or adjustments before payroll processing is completed.
- Use Processed History - When enabled, this setting allows the time and attendance system to reference historical data from previously processed payroll batches. This can be useful for making retroactive adjustments or verifying attendance records that have already been finalized.
- Payroll Batch - This is the Batch Code in which the time and attendance system should be linked to. In almost all cases, this is the code for the regularly scheduled batch.
- Period Start Date - This establishes within the attendance system what day of the week the pay period starts on.
To adjust any of these settings found within the Pay Rules Card, click the blue "Edit" button to manage these settings.
For any questions relating to any of the Pay Rules settings, or guidance with significant adjustments being made to these settings, please contact Empeon's Customer Support.
