People, Time, Payroll and Workforce

How to read this pageEach field explains what it is for, what to enter and an example. If your company does not use a feature, that field may not appear for your profile.

1. What People, Time, Payroll and Workforce are for

People organizes the employment relationship. Time & Attendance calculates worked time. Payroll calculates money. Workforce organizes people allocated to contracts, sites, posts and schedules.

Person / employment→Schedule→Time records→Close→Payroll

Customer / contract→Site→Post→Schedule→Allocation→Presence / SLA

2. Time & Attendance: what each item means

Time & Attendance separates raw facts, approved adjustments and close to preserve auditability.

Information	What it means	Why it exists
Punch / time record	Time actually recorded.	Preserves the original fact.
Adjustment / justification	Correction or explanation submitted for approval.	Avoids overwriting the original punch.
Shift	Expected work schedule for that role.	Allows comparison between expected and actual.
Roster	Distribution of shifts by date/period.	Organizes days off and coverage.
Tolerance	Configured operational margin used in calculation.	Standardizes time calculation.
Calculation	Computes scheduled minutes, worked minutes, delays, absences and overtime.	Transforms punches into a result.
Close	Freezes the approved period.	Ensures payroll uses a stable result.

3. Payroll: what each item means

Payroll uses periods, earnings/deduction codes, formulas and versioned inputs to produce traceable calculations.

Information	Plain explanation
Payroll period	Month/period to which the calculation belongs.
Payroll item	An earning, deduction or informational line.
Formula	Rule used to calculate a payroll item.
Base	Amount or set of amounts used in a calculation.
Input	Data fed into the calculation, such as base salary or closed time results.
Batch	Set of calculations executed together.
Payslip	Individual summary of payroll results.
Reprocessing	A new calculation generation that preserves reference to the previous one.

RuleWhen a legal/business rule changes, the administrator creates a new effective-dated version of the payroll rule/formula. Do not silently rewrite an old calculation.

4. Workforce: contract, post, schedule and measurement

Workforce is used for outsourcing, facilities, security, concierge/front desk, cleaning and other allocated-team operations.
