Running payroll

FieldGate's payroll feature calculates wages based on approved time entries and each employee's pay rate.

Before you run payroll

Make sure all time entries for the pay period have been approved. Unapproved entries will not be included in the payroll calculation.

Running a payroll

1. Go to Payroll in your sidebar
2. Set the period start and period end dates
3. Review the calculated hours and amounts for each employee
4. Add an optional note (e.g. "Paid via direct deposit")
5. Click Run Payroll to finalize the run

Payroll runs are saved permanently and cannot be deleted — this is by design for compliance and audit purposes.

Overtime

FieldGate automatically flags hours over 40 per week as overtime. Overtime hours are shown separately in the payroll breakdown.
