What this guide covers
NidusCore connects clock-in shift logs, project time, and payroll periods for labor cost tracking.
Payroll settings
Configure:
- Current pay period start/end dates
- Pay frequency expectations
- Overtime rules for payroll (distinct from project-cost overtime on Project Time Settings)
- Period close workflow — closing a period and opening the next
Only users with payroll settings permission can change period boundaries.
Out of office requests on this tab has Include Weekend Days. When it is on, Saturday and Sunday count toward approved vacation, work-from-home, and away-for-business totals on the OoO Requests tab.
OoO Requests
This tab lists approved (including self-scheduled) out of office time grouped by employee. Filter by payroll period, month, year, all time, or a custom From/Until range, plus employees and request type. Day totals follow the weekend setting above.
User wages
User Wages stores pay rates per membership:
- Hourly or salary-style entries (as configured for your business)
- Effective dates for wage changes
- Visibility restricted to roles with
accounting_user_wages_access
Wage data feeds shift cost calculations and payroll reporting. It does not automatically sync to external payroll providers unless integrated via exports.
Payroll / Shifts tab
The Payroll / Shifts tab is the operational view for:
- Open and completed shift logs
- Clock-out corrections
- Shift approval for payroll inclusion
- Linked project time entries during a shift
Managers approve or reject shifts before payroll close. Edits respect shift log settings (see Project time and shift log settings).
Employee experience
Staff clock in from:
- The dashboard Clock in control (when permitted)
- Track project time on projects
- Kiosk mode when enabled in General settings
Their shifts appear here for payroll reviewers.
