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.
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.
