In the next screen, you need to set your parameters to ensure that shifts for the current payroll processing week appear
From Date: Automatic set to the first day of the current pay week
To Date: Automatic set to the day before you sign in. This needs to be changed to the week ending date of the pay week you wish to process
Member Selection: Ensure this is set to All
Screen Options: Select one of the ones below
Members shifts per client
Choosing this option will group all shifts worked by a member for each client location. Meaning the system will show a single entry for each client location the Member attended shifts within the time period applied.
Shifts will appear like this
All shifts per member
Choosing this option will group all shifts a member has worked across all client locations. Meaning a single validation screen will pull all shifts that the member worked within the time period applied regardless of the client location.
The image below shows all Members who worked during the period applied as a single row.
Member shifts per award
Choosing this option will group all shifts a member has worked by the award. Meaning a single validation screen could have multiple client locations if they have the same award
It will look like this
Once you have set your parameters, to move to the validation screen, please select
The shifts then appear in an excel-like a spreadsheet
The shifts are automatically grouped by their Verification Status and are listed alphabetically ( by first name ) within the groups
All Submitted - means all timesheets for all shifts have been submitted by the member
Few Submitted - means some timesheets for some shifts have been submitted by the member
No Submissions - means no timesheets for any shifts have been submitted by the member
NB: All of the columns in this screen can be filtered. This allows you to verify a particular member or by status or by qualification etc
To verify, you can either double click on the member name or select
The validation screen then comes up and lists all the shifts for the selected member
The detail in the top half of the screen is collected from the Allocations screen. This displays the shift as booked.
This detail is then repeated in the bottom half of the screen but anything in this half of the screen can be edited during verification.
To verify the shift, click on the timesheet number to view the timesheet and then compare this to the actual booking.
If the timesheet submitted by the member differs from what is booked, the component of the shift that is different is highlighted in red text.
We can see in the above image that the time under Break for the last shift is highlighted in red text.
By viewing the member’s timesheet ( image below ) we can see that the shift was booked with a 40 minute break but the member is saying they had no break.
If the member is correct in what they are saying, you would click on the Break in the lower half of the screen and delete the value of 40, otherwise, leave the shift as booked.
Please note: If you change anything in the bottom half of the screen, you must select Confirm Shift Changes ( located in the middle of the screen to save these changes.

This is located down the bottom of the screen and is in the middle.
Once selected, the pay and invoice values will be calculated and saved for later processing during the pay and invoice runs. You will also be returned to the front ( excel like ) screen.
NB: There are two other validate options, these are used if you want to pay only and not invoice or conversely, invoice only and not pay.
Pay only option is located to the left of the PAY / INVOICE button and the invoice only is located to the right of this button. Selecting any of these will also return you to the front screen.
