Justworks Time Tracking shifts syncing to Justworks Timecards
Approved Justworks Time Tracking shifts will begin to automatically sync to Justworks Timecards immediately after you enable the integration. Hours should appear on Justworks Timecards within 5 minutes and can be found in the “Saved Drafts” tab. For each employee using Justworks Time Tracking, we’ll include a label on their Justworks Timecard so that you can easily identify when shifts were synced from Justworks Time Tracking. Please ensure all Justworks Time Tracking shifts are synced to Timecards before clicking Approve (an error appear if you try to Approve too soon).
Here’s an overview of the process:
- Approve Justworks Time Tracking shifts
- Justworks Time Tracking customers can also enable an “Auto-Approval” setting in Account Preferences if they prefer not to approve each shift
- Login to Justworks, click on the Timecards tab and select the “Saved Drafts” tab
- Click “Edit” for each Timecard and click “Calculate overtime”
- Review the Timecards for accuracy to ensure all hours worked are accurately reported, applicable wage rates are applied, and overtime wage calculations are accurate and complete
- Approve the Justworks Timecards
As you can see above, you’ll be approving the shifts in Justworks Time Tracking, before calculating overtime and approving the Justworks Timecards. Both approvals are required in order for employees to be paid.
As a heads up, overnight shifts will split at midnight. This will ensure that the hours worked are assigned to the correct work day.
Calculate overtime in Justworks
You will calculate overtime on the Justworks Timecards at the end of the pay period. It’s best to record overtime at the end of the pay period to ensure that all hours worked are factored into the overtime calculation, based on federal and state requirements.
Before the 2pm EST payroll processing deadline, click “Calculate overtime” and review the Timecard to make sure the wage payments are accurate and complete before clicking Approve. Once you approve the Timecard, it is locked and no further Justworks Time Tracking shifts will sync to Justworks from that pay period.
Review this Overtime Help Center article for cases in which overtime must be calculated manually - such as when an employee has multiple hourly rates in the same pay period.
Enabling the integration in the middle of the pay period
Only after enabling the integration, approved Justworks Time Tracking shifts automatically sync to Justworks Timecards. Any shifts that were approved prior to enabling the integration will need to be synced individually using the Justworks Time Tracking Reports tab on the left side of your Justworks Time Tracking dashboard. Please note that this is a one-time event required for the initial setup of the integration. After you enable the integration, approved shifts will sync automatically within five minutes.
This means if you are enabling the integration in the middle of the pay period, you’ll use the Reports tab and click “Send” on the right side of each shift that was approved prior to you enabling the integration. You’ll know the shift was sent to Justworks successfully if the status is updated to “Sent”.
Editing a shift in Justworks Time Tracking
As long as the Justworks Timecards hasn’t been approved and payroll has not processed, you can edit shifts on Justworks Time Tracking (even if you’ve approved them) and the changes will automatically appear on the employee’s timecard on Justworks.
If you’ve already Approved the Timecard, any changes in Justworks Time Tracking for that pay period will not sync to Justworks. Instead, you can edit the hours directly on the Justworks Timecard, if payroll hasn't been processed yet, by clicking the Edit button and then clicking Approve again. If you’re editing the Timecard, we recommend you also update the applicable shifts on Justworks Time Tracking to ensure information is accurate in both places.
Confirm that shifts successfully synced to Justworks
Login to Justworks Time Tracking and click on the Reports tab on the left side. After you select the week, you can confirm that shifts were sent over successfully if you see a “Sent” status on the right side of the shift. You can use these Reports to cross-reference the information on the Justworks Timecards.
Setting up Managers who approve shifts
After you complete the Justworks Time Tracking employee matching page, head to each Manager’s Justworks Time Tracking profile and update their “Role” to Manager using the drop-down menu and click Save.
