Syncing Approved Hours from Namely Timesheets into Payroll

How to approve and sync regular and overtime hours from employee timecards as an Administrator in Namely Payroll and Timesheets.

OVERVIEW

Namely Timesheet segments can be synced to Namely Payroll by an Administrator after all employees have certified their time.

PROCESS

To sync your segments:

1. Log in to Namely HRIS.

2. Under Payroll Admin > Manage Payroll.

3. Select Timesheet > Approve Time Log. 

4. Select the Pay Group and Pay Cycle you wish to sync.

TIP:

Click Lock Pay Cycle for Managers to ensure that Managers can no longer make changes to time segments while you approve the time for all employees and run payroll.

 

5. Scroll down to view all time entries and confirm their approval. If any time entries need to be approved select Approve All Punches to approve all employees together or Approve All to approve employees individually. 

6. Once you have confirmed the status of approvals, go to the Payroll Center tab.

7. Click Run Payroll next to the desired pay cycle.

8. In the toolbar click the Clock Icon > Sync Approved Hours. 

TIP:

Spot-check employees that used the Entered Time through Timesheets and ensure the hours have correctly synced.
