FAQ
Q: I imported data but the amounts do not show in the payroll run.
Imports of fixed remunerations, deductions and salaries must be done before the payroll cycle is run; if the cycle is already open, go to the ongoing cycle and click Refresh. Unpaid leave approved in the Leave module is not deducted automatically — it must be imported into the payroll cycle (see the unpaid leave guide above).
Q: Can I mass-update the leave or claim process itself (approval workflows)?
Approval workflows are set on the policy; to apply a change to many employees, assign the policy (or its custom configuration) to the employees concerned rather than editing each profile.
