Hourly Payroll

Hourly payroll software that multiplies tracked hours by each member's rate

Staffic works out hourly pay for you: each day's tracked time times the member's pay rate, rounded to the cent. Salaried staff and one-time bonuses sit on the same Payroll page, so hourly and salaried members are paid from one place. It's for teams paying hourly employees and contractors on the Elite plan.

In short

What is Staffic Hourly Payroll?

Staffic Hourly Payroll is the hourly payroll software inside Staffic's Payroll page. For every day in the range, it adds up each member's tracked time, applies your approval rule and multiplies the result by the member's hourly pay rate. Bonuses and other one-off amounts go on the Fixed tab as fixed payments. Staffic records what you pay; the money itself goes out through your own bank or payment service.

How it works

How hourly payroll works in Staffic

Payroll and attendance software usually needs a separate clock-in step. In Staffic, the tracked sessions do that job.

  1. 01Give each member a pay rateEnter an hourly pay rate in Payment Settings. A member without one isn't paid on the Hourly tab.
  2. 02Let the hours add upMembers track time in the desktop app, and manual time fills any gaps you allow.
  3. 03Check each dayThe Hourly tab lists every day in the range with time worked, pay rate and total pay.
  4. 04Pay, then mark as paidSend the money your usual way and mark the rows as paid. Each member gets an email statement.

Hourly payroll software

Hourly pay from a rate and tracked time

Automated payroll software for hourly teams should do the arithmetic and leave the decisions to you. Staffic multiplies the hours; you decide what's approved and when it's paid.

The Members list shows every member's pay rate per hour beside their monthly salary. Before a pay run you can see who is hourly, who is salaried and who still needs a rate.

  • One hourly pay rate per member
  • Rates in your organization's currency
  • Payment Settings edited on Elite

A day's pay starts from every session the member tracked in the desktop app, plus any manual time. A session deleted from the Daily Timesheet, which always takes a reason, leaves that day's total, and your approval rule decides what's left.

  • Desktop sessions from Windows, macOS and Linux
  • Manual time included
  • Deleted sessions drop out
See Daily Timesheet

When someone forgets the timer, manual time fills the gap: up to 24 hours per entry, never in the future and never on top of a tracked session. The Manual Time report lists each added or deleted entry with its reason, so you can check it before payday.

  • Members add their own when you allow it
  • Admins add time for anyone
  • Manual Time report on Standard and Elite
See Manual Time Reports

A bonus or commission doesn't fit hours times rate, so it goes on the Fixed tab as its own payment, in any currency you pick. Fixed payments keep their own history, each with the note that explains it.

  • Any currency
  • Optional project link
  • A required note on every payment
See Payroll

Not everyone is paid by the hour. Members with a monthly salary appear on the Monthly tab for the month you pick, with that month's hours beside the salary. Hourly and salaried pay then run from one Payroll page.

  • Salary from the member's profile
  • Hours shown for reference
  • Mark one salary or the whole month paid
Read the Payroll guide

Every payment you mark as paid moves to History, under Hourly, Monthly or Fixed. Filter by members and dates or months, then export the view to CSV for your records or your accountant.

  • Hourly, Monthly and Fixed views
  • CSV export per view
  • Who marked each payment, and when

Control and privacy

You control the rate and the hours behind it

Hourly pay is only as right as the rate and the hours, so both stay under admin control.

  • Pay rates are edited in each member's Payment Settings, on Elite
  • Members add manual time only when Timesheet Settings allows it; admins can add it for anyone
  • Every manual entry carries a reason, listed in the Manual Time report
  • Each hourly statement shows the member only their own date, hours, rate and total
  • History keeps who marked each payment as paid, and when

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Answers about hourly payroll in Staffic.

Read the docs

Is there a free trial of Staffic payroll software?

Yes. Paid plans start with a 7-day free trial the first time your organization subscribes, and Payroll is on Elite, so pick Elite to try it. The Free plan has no time limit for up to 3 members and covers time tracking, but not Payroll.

How do I do payroll without software?

By hand: you add up each person's hours from time cards or a spreadsheet, multiply by their rate and record what you paid. That works for a few people, but every step is typed. Staffic does the adding and multiplying from tracked time and keeps the record, so you check the totals and pay.

How does payroll work for hourly employees in Staffic?

Hourly employees are paid for the time they track, at their own pay rate. For each day, the Hourly tab shows time worked, pay rate and total pay per member. You choose the date range, check the rows, pay outside Staffic and mark them as paid; each day is paid once per member.

Can payroll use tracked hours automatically?

Yes, the calculation is automatic. The Hourly tab reads the sessions members tracked in the desktop app plus any manual time, so there's nothing to upload. What stays with you is the judgment: approving time if you require it, and marking payments as paid after the money has gone out.

Can I pay salaried and hourly members in one place?

Yes. Payroll has an Hourly tab for pay from tracked time and a Monthly tab for salaries, and a member can have a pay rate, a salary or both. History keeps each kind apart, with its own filters and CSV export.

Can I send one-time payments such as bonuses?

Yes, as fixed payments on the Fixed tab. Enter the member, the amount and a currency, optionally a project, and a note saying what the payment is for; the note is required. Staffic records the bonus and emails the member a statement, while the money goes through your bank or payment service.

Does Staffic payroll handle tax filing?

No. Staffic works out hourly pay before tax and records salaries and bonuses, but it doesn't withhold tax, file returns or send money. If a payroll provider or accountant handles tax, export the payment history to CSV and give them the file.

How do I export payroll ready reports?

Export payment History to CSV, on Elite. Each view (Hourly, Monthly or Fixed) exports on its own: the hourly file lists date, member, time worked in seconds, pay rate, amount paid, currency, who paid and when. For hours that aren't paid yet, the Time & Activity report exports to Excel or PDF.

How much does it cost to use Hourly Payroll?

The Elite plan includes Hourly Payroll: $5.80 per user per month billed yearly or $9.80 billed monthly, with a 7-day free trial.
