Approved hours, into the payroll you already run

Roster Flow captures and approves the hours. Your payroll system works out the pay. Xero can be connected today and MYOB is coming soon, and these pages set out exactly what crosses between them, in which direction, and what does not cross at all.

What moves, and which way

WhatDirectionDetail
Your employeesPayroll to Roster FlowName, email, job title, start date and employment type, matched by email address.
Base pay ratesPayroll to Roster FlowThe ordinary hourly rate or annual salary, used for the cost estimate on the roster. No penalties, loadings or overtime.
Approved hoursRoster Flow to payrollOne week at a time, sent by a manager: seven daily totals in decimal hours per employee.
New startersPayroll to Roster FlowChecked once a week, the night before your week starts. New people are added as invited profiles; no invitation email is sent.
Leave balancesPayroll to Roster FlowRead for a linked person when the balance is looked at, exactly as the payroll system holds it. Never calculated here, and never written back.

What never moves

  • Pay runs, payslips, superannuation or Single Touch Payroll reporting
  • Leave accrual, allowances, overtime, penalty rates or award interpretation
  • Employee records created or edited in your payroll system by us
  • Hours sent on a schedule, or without a manager pressing send

That boundary is deliberate. Getting an award quietly wrong is worse than not attempting it, so pay rules stay where your accountant or bookkeeper maintains them. More on the payroll handoff.
