When your pay period ends, you and your managers usually have a deadline by which all timesheets must be approved in order to transmit payroll data to your accounting system.

It is therefore possible to set an automatic pay period closing time, which will close the pay period at the set time, but also send reminders to managers at specific times to ensure that all timesheets are approved before the set time.


1- Activate the automatic pay close deadline setting

Simply follow these steps to activate automatic pay period closing:

  1. Click on the "Settings" tab in the main menu on the left

  2. Click on the "Attendance" tab in the submenu

  3. Scroll to the bottom of the page and activate the payroll closing deadline

This will automatically change the status of the pay period to "Closed" at the chosen time, leaving you to finalize it before exporting your payroll.

Please consult this article to find out how to finalize a payroll period.


2- Notifications

Setting up the automatic pay period closing setting also generates notifications that are sent to managers and administrators to remind them to go and approve the attendance sheets.

24 hours before automatic closing:

  • Supervisors and managers receive a reminder notification to approve timesheets

1h before automatic closing:

  • Supervisors and managers receive a reminder to approve timesheets.

  • Not sent if there are no alerts

At the time of automatic closing:

  • Administrators are notified

24 hours after automatic closing:

  • Administrators are notified

  • Not sent if pay period already finalized
