The documentation covers the product screen by screen. This page is the shorter thing, which is what to set up first and what tends to need attention during a rollout.
Two things worth doing before the first payroll run
Set up your OB categories, and enter the contracted hours per week for each employee. Both are quick, and both change how every hour recorded before them is interpreted.
The contracted hours are the ones people skip. They separate mertid, the hours a part-timer works above their contract, from overtime, and without them those hours are booked to the wrong payroll code. Timply treats full time as 40 hours a week, which is worth checking against your agreement.
Run the first period in parallel
Reconcile the total in Timply against the total in your payroll system the first time you run a new period. That is when an incorrect code setup on the payroll side shows up, and it shows up as missing hours rather than as an error message.
Getting started
Set up the business and invite your staff.
Set up your OB categories, for unsocial hours, before the first payroll run.
Enter the contracted hours per week per employee, so mertid is kept apart from overtime.
Enter holiday balances per employee if you are on Pro.
Common during a rollout
Payroll employment numbers have to match the payroll system, or entries will not be matched on import.
Run the first payroll period in parallel and reconcile the total in both systems.
Set the permitted radius for location validation wider than you think is needed, and tighten it later.
Try Timply with your own staff
Set it up yourself with your real schedule and your real staff. If you would prefer someone to walk you through it, book a demo.
