How do I post, view, or open Store Payroll?

This article guides store managers on posting, viewing, and opening store payroll on Decision Logic’s platform.

Overview

Decision Logic’s payroll feature is a bridge between 3rd party payroll integrations and your POS.  It supports stores by providing visibility and accountability of all labor hours and ensuring all employee information is entered in Decision Logic.

Payroll is posted for all active employees in the Employee Roster with assigned job codes and POS IDs.

If overtime or double-time labor rules are set up for stores, users may observe employees listed with overtime (OT Hrs.) or double-time (DT Hrs.) on the Store Payroll and Payroll Report when these rules are applicable. Standard overtime rules respect the federal rule that hours worked over 40 hours in a workweek will appear as overtime

If your state has special overtime (OT) or double-time (DT) rules, please contact your Account Manager.

 

All users must have the following permissions:

  • Store Payroll - ‘Change’

 

When labor data is missing, users will need to clear and re-run labor data from the End of Day page.

Payroll must be opened or not yet posted before users can clear and re-run labor in the End of Day.

  5. Verify the Payroll Totals and Labor Hours match your POS.

    1. If the POS and Decision Logic do not match, either update End of Day or run Universal Data Transfer (UDT).  The update method is dependent on the store’s POS.

    2. If you see payroll alerts, follow these steps.

    3. Distribute tips if needed.

    4. Some employees may have overtime or double-time hours listed if configured and respected.

  6. Review the Minimum Wage Adjustment column.

    1. If an entry appears, the employee’s wage does not meet the minimum wage for their job code and clocked in/out hours.  The brand establishes the minimum wage limit.  Stores will need to make wage adjustments outside of Decision Logic’s platform.

ADP Payroll Push Integration

Clients that have ADP as their payroll provider can submit a ticket to enabled the Payroll Push Integration which looks for errors before and after posting the store’s payroll. This function will appear on the Store Payroll if it is enabled. The integration button is to help alert operators to any errors that need correction so shift data can be sent to their payroll provider.

Errors on the Store Payroll page where the data coming from the POS does not match the data in the Employee Record can be addressed typically at the store-level through the Employee Roster.

Integration Errors where the data is sent to ADP and they kickback into Decision Logic will populate on the Intergration Errors button and requires the users to Open the Payroll, address the errors, and Re-Post Payroll.

Any errors or issues with API should be sent to Decision Logic immediately.

The best way to ensure that there are little to no errors is to accurately follow the process for Employee Onboarding.

Operations > Payroll > Store Payroll
