Important Notes Regarding the Payroll Widget

• The Payroll widget is only available for the designated payroll administrator on the account.
• While using the payroll widget, pay runs can be unlocked, deleted, or resumed.
• If your account uses uAttend Payroll, you cannot make changes to expense codes or settings once a pay run has been started. You must wait until you have finished processing the pay run to make any edits or delete the pay run and begin a new one after making the needed edits.
• If your account uses uAttend Payroll, changes made to expenses on a timecard will be updated once the standard pay run has resumed.
• To collect and organize receipts from your team, it is a good practice to develop a standardized form that includes a field for images your staff can use to submit them to you.
