Understand which record answers each question before correcting hours or preparing payroll.

Workflow: Schedule = plan → Attendance = punches → Timesheet = filed hours → Provider = payroll

1. Use schedules for planned work

Team → Schedule describes intended shifts and time blocks. Publishing a schedule does not prove someone worked it.

2. Use attendance for recorded punches

Team → Attendance records check-in and check-out activity. An incomplete punch needs review before it becomes reliable hours.

3. Use Timesheets for reviewed hours

Timesheets holds the filed hours, break deductions, approval status and corrections used by its exports.

Time entries links back to attendance and offers separate import and export controls.

4. Use the payroll provider for payroll

The provider handles payroll processing and payments. A Bloomily export or approval does not confirm that payroll was submitted or paid.

Before you finish

• Changing a published shift or source attendance after import does not guarantee an existing timesheet changes. Verify the filed entry.
