Setting Up Time Doctor Payroll for the First Time

 

TL;DR: 

Enable and configure Time Doctor Payroll by visiting the Payroll Settings page. Set payment methods, pay periods, and default settings for users. Activate payroll to begin automated notifications and approvals. Customize individual user settings and apply defaults to streamline large-scale setups.

 

Begin using Time Doctor's Payroll feature by configuring the Payroll Settings page. This page enables defining pay periods, frequencies, rates, methods, and more.

To access the Payroll Settings page: 

  • From the left-hand menu of the web dashboard, click the company logo > Payroll Settings.
