At any given time you'll need to manage staff information in Wageloch, whether it's adding a new employee, terminating someone at the end of their employment or updating personal information.
This article will be discussing managing staff information, specifically the staff cards within Wageloch. We'll cover the view from Site level and the small variances between Central (payroll). At the bottom of the page we'll briefly touch on importing staff information from various payroll systems such as MYOB, Xero and Reckon to save time on data entry.

Onboarding is another method of managing staff information, especially for new employees.

Staff Card - Personal Information

Payroll Code

Not all payroll systems utilize payroll codes as a staff identifier; more often than not it is an optional piece of information. You're welcome to input this information manually from your payroll, though some of our import functions may pull this through automatically.

Xero one of the only systems that assist us in generating a payroll code for Wageloch, as it's a mandatory requirement for timesheet exports. No Xero payroll code? No timesheet data.
