Pay Period Complete

Pay Period Complete monitors your pay period and reminds you to close your payroll when it is time to do so. You can go straight to your pay period by clicking Close Period.

For more details, see Close and Export Payroll.

Pay Period Forecast

Pay Period Forecast visualizes your labor budget for the current pay period.

• The Budget total is the projected cost of the scheduled hours for the current pay period based on your employees’ wages. This total does not consider unpaid breaks, overtime, or unpublished shifts.
• The Today marker indicates how far you’ve progressed through the current pay period based on time, not budget.
• The blue bar indicates how much of your labor budget has been spent for the current pay period.
  • If your budget is equally distributed across each day in the pay period and your employees are clocking in and out correctly, the blue budget bar lines up with the Today marker.
  • If your budget is more heavily weighted early or late in the pay period, or if your employees are failing to clock in or out, the budget line does not line up with the Today marker.

Labor Cost

Labor Cost is calculated based on your employees’ timesheets and assigned wages.

• Employees have clocked in at two or more schedules
• Employees have clocked in to work two or more positions

Each pie chart can display up to five data points. Additional data points are grouped under All Others.
