Traffio has the ability to generate pay runs using the hours submitted via the dockets and interpreting your payroll rules set up in your cost centre. These pay runs are then able to be pushed into your connected accounting software timesheet section to be paid. This pay run does not deal in the monetary value of the pay but rather calculates the hours of ordinary, overtime, allowances, etc that the employee is entitled to during that pay period and sends it to your accounting software.

Getting Started

Before you're able to create a pay run you must first set up your payroll cost centre and assign that cost centre to your depots.

Creating a Pay run

  • Navigate to Payroll on the left-hand side tab bar

  • This will open up the pay runs page.

  • Click +New

  • Select the Payroll Cost Centre from the drop-down list

  • Select the pay period you wish to generate a pay run for

  • Select Create

The pay run will pull in all the jobs completed during that period from the depots using that payroll cost centre.

The Pencil symbol means that there has been a docket submitted but it has not been signed off on.

Employee warnings

Not Matched

If this appears next to an employees name on a pay run, it means that the employee is not matched within the payroll cost centre. This matching matches the employees Traffio profile to their profile within the accounting software.

Employees Payroll category does not match the cost centres calendar

The employee is being paid on a different schedule than what's set up in the cost centre. This is a matter of changing it within their accounting software profile or changing the payment schedule in the cost centre.
