These tabs hold the payroll records and wage compliance rules behind each pay run.
Creating and closing pay periods happens in Payroll. This page covers the resulting registers and the wage rules that govern them.

​
Pay Schedules

Pay period schedules defining payroll frequency and processing dates. Columns: Name · Frequency · Period Start · Period End · Pay Date · Status The same schedules you manage in Payroll, visible here alongside the financial records they produce.

​
Employee Payroll

Individual employee payroll entries with hours, rates, and deductions. Columns: Employee · Period · Hours · OT Hours · Gross · Net · Status OT Hours is tracked separately because overtime is governed by the wage rules below.

​
Contractor Payroll

Contractor payment entries for 1099 reporting. Columns: Contractor · Period · Amount · Status Contractors are reported on 1099s rather than W-2s, which is why they are kept separate. You need a current W-9 for each. See Vendors and purchasing.

​
Loan Amortization

Payroll deduction entries for employee loan repayments, also covered in Loans and insurance. Columns: Employee · Loan · Amount · Period · Remaining

​
Wage Rules

Minimum wage, overtime, and pay rate compliance rules by jurisdiction. Columns: Name · Type · Jurisdiction · Min Rate · Effective · Active
Wage rules change on their own schedule. A rule with a future Effective date will change what compliant pay looks like on that date — review upcoming rules before they take effect, not after a pay run.

​
Wage Notices

Attendant wage rate notices compliant with Texas labor requirements. Columns: Employee · Rate · Effective · Acknowledged
Acknowledged is the field that evidences compliance. Issuing a wage notice without the employee acknowledging it does not satisfy the requirement. Filter on a blank Acknowledged after every rate change.

​
Running a pay period

1

Confirm wage rules are current

Check for rules with an Effective date inside the period.
2

Verify hours

Employee payroll draws on recorded time. Clear EVV exceptions first — see Time & Attendance.
3

Check overtime

OT Hours should reconcile with the applicable overtime rule.
4

Check active loan deductions

Confirm Remaining on each amortization entry.
5

Process employee and contractor payroll separately

They report differently at year-end.

​
After a rate change

1

Issue wage notices

Every affected attendant needs one, with the new Rate and Effective date.
2

Track acknowledgement

Chase anyone with a blank Acknowledged.
3

Confirm the new rate flows through

Check the next period’s gross pay reflects it.
