Managing Contractors through Corfix Timekeeping and Corfix Payroll
If you set up your Contractors in Corfix and they are expected to track their hours through Timekeeping here are the steps to ensure you create the contractor correctly.
If you are managing Contractors and Hourly employees you will need to do one of the the following;
- Create an Hourly Group in Corfix to ensure only hourly Workers are exported. Setting up the Group will allow you to filter Contractors out of the export.
- If you have the approval process on in Timekeeping, only have the hourly worker timecards approved, leave the contractor timecards unapproved, this will ensure the contractor timecards are not exported.
Not doing one of the following will result in a error when exporting Timecards to Corfix Payroll.
- Create the Contractor as a Worker in Corfix, and apply the same steps outlined in this document, Adding an employee.
- Once the Contractor is activated they will be created in Corfix Payroll automatically.
- The Contractor will now be able to log into Corfix and punch in or create timecards.
- You will need to then go to Corfix Payroll and go to the Contractors page.
- Create the Contractor under the Corfix Payroll.
- Fill in all fields as needed.
- For each payroll you need manually add the hours for Contractors as the hours will not push from Corfix Timekeeping to Corfix Payroll.
Contact your CSM to have the contractor deleted from the employee section of Payroll if required.
