Workforce operations guide

Employee & Payroll

Manage controlled employee records, leave and punch evidence, compensation inputs, reviewed salary runs, payslip delivery and statutory work without implying an automatic punch-to-payroll decision.

Scope note: This page is an evaluation guide, not a separate entitlement. HR & Payroll is still rolling out school by school and keeps punch evidence, salary decisions, statutory review and disbursement evidence distinct.

Guided product passage

See the workflow and what it produces.

Move manually between a visual product-story context, the reviewed workflow and a route-specific outcome. Where a current renderer or route capture exists, Outcome keeps it beside the clearly illustrative summary.

Evaluation questions

Know the boundary before rollout.

Plan, provider, role and data dependencies are confirmed for your school during the review.

Does biometric attendance calculate salary automatically?

No. Where HR & Payroll and Biometric Devices are enabled with compatible middleware, matched employee punches remain presence evidence; they do not calculate or change salary automatically.

Can employees view payslips?

A supported employee self-service path exists when the HR & Payroll workspace and applicable permissions are enabled.

Does the system update itself whenever employment law changes?

No automatic legal-update claim is made. Schools configure inputs and authorised professionals review statutory calculations and outputs.

Is payroll available to every school today?

The workspace is rolling out school by school. Availability, data preparation and the enabled sub-scope are confirmed before rollout.
