Question on: ClockShark

Is there an "archive" feature for Jobs that are completed?

My company has a high volume of jobs. When they are completed I would like to archive them from the Administrative Jobs page so I will not be forced to scroll dozens of pages or perform a Search function to locate current jobs. Is this type of feature currently available?

Not specifically that I am aware of. When we complete a job, I just inactivate it so that it does not show up on the employees' app on their phone as a choice. It remains in the list of jobs. Jobs can be sorted by Active/Inactive to make viewing easier for the Admin.

Not exactly an archive feature. I normally print out job details, so that I can analyse the costing & then delete the job so it doesn't show

All you have to do is deactivate the job. It doesn't go away, but no longer shows in active jobs. All of your information for that job is saved.

I have not seen an archive for jobs but you can run reports and then mark them inactive. We also have a high volume of jobs and would be interested in this type or archive feature for jobs and employees. I do know once I deleted an employee on accident and the clock shark team easily recovered it so maybe they have this capability with jobs as well.

Can I use this if i'm not part of another company?

I believe you are able to use this to track your time for various projects as well. For example if you are an independent contractor and want to track your time for various companies.

Question on: TriNet

Process of finalizing a payroll.

What are the steps involved in finalizing and submitting a payroll, in terms of reviewing and making corrections before the payroll is finalized? These steps should be on an online training video, or the representative should go through a step-by-step training. It was a trial-by-error learning process, with lots of errors on my side as well as the payroll team.

Before submitting a payroll. I recommend you print the grid as entered... and ensure you have the totals saved. We do this via excel. The next step is to hit preview. At this point you might want to say a little prayer that it doesn't get stuck for the next several hours. When it does get caught in the preview process, set a timer so you can call them in 1 hour and let them know it is stuck. Once it unsticks and the preview completes. Download again (we do this as a PDF) and compare against your first totals. Assuming everything is still looking correct, you can finalize and submit. At this point TriNet will process payroll and make some random changes, It might be double paying an employee or not paying an employee, you never know. However, if you have set up your payroll to require review before final processing (I recommend this), you will have your payroll sent to you with a one hour time frame to review. This might work if you only have a few employees. For us, with over 100 employee, now the fun begins. You are playing beat the clock in a variation of Where's Waldo. This is your ONLY chance to catch the errors before the payroll is submitted. If you miss your one hour time window and you don't catch the mistakes.. it gets processed and you have to work on fixing it retroactively. This fix can require all sorts of forms or other hoops to jump through including having your case closed before it was resolved, waiting on hold for 20 minutes to over an hour, and many other shenanigans. In short, this is probably the worst payroll experience I have ever had with any company.

Once you have completed the payroll entry sheet you can view the final payroll before it is processed. Your rep can also help with this. Easy process.

Once I have entered and saved our payroll in TriNet, I send an email to our in-house finance support team who then reviews the payroll and sends an email to our TriNet Client Success Specialist to let her know that payroll has been approved for processing. After entering the payroll information in the payroll grid, I simply save it. TriNet is the one who submits the payroll. I hope this helps.
