HCM — From Timesheet to Pay
How recorded time flows into payroll so hourly staff are paid accurately.
Time recorded in Plenix can feed straight into payroll, so hourly and overtime pay is accurate without re-keying.
Step 1 — Record time
Staff record time against work via HCM → Time, ERP → Timesheets, or job/work-order timers. Each entry has a date, hours, and (optionally) the job it relates to.
Step 2 — Approve time
Managers review and approve timesheets. Only approved time is eligible for pay.
Step 3 — Run payroll
When you run payroll (HCM → Payroll), approved hours for hourly employees are converted to gross pay using their rate, and overtime is applied where recorded. Salaried staff are unaffected.
Step 4 — Check for double-billing
If the same time is also billed to a customer invoice, Plenix keeps the two separate so you don't accidentally pay and bill the same hours twice.
Tips
- Approve timesheets before starting the payroll run.
- Set each hourly employee's rate on their payroll profile.
