Written by Kate Biel

📝 Overview

Time To Pet Pay Center lets you generate pay stubs based on your payroll pay periods, review worker earnings, and send that pay data directly to DaySmart Payroll. This article walks you through generating pay stubs, filtering them by date range, and syncing them so you’re ready to run payroll.


🧾 Generate Pay Stubs

Generating pay stubs pulls in each worker’s earnings for the pay period you select, so you can review everything before it goes to payroll.

⚠️ Distribute tips first: Before you generate pay stubs, distribute tips to your workers in Time To Pet. This ensures tips are included in each worker’s earnings when the pay stubs are generated.

  1. In Time To Pet Pay Center, click Generate Pay Stubs.
    ​

  2. Select the pay period you want to pay. Your pay groups from DaySmart Payroll appear here by the names you’ve given them, such as Weekly or Bi-Weekly Salaried, along with their upcoming payroll. To set your own dates instead, select Use a custom date range instead. When you select a payroll pay period, the date range and pay date fill in automatically.

    ​

  3. Click Continue to Review.
    ​

  4. Review the list of workers. Workers associated with the selected pay period are selected automatically. To leave a worker out of this pay run, deselect them.

    ​

  5. Click Continue to Finalize.
    ​

  6. Review the earnings for each worker. Earnings for the selected period pull in automatically, and you can edit them if anything needs adjusting.
    ​​

  7. Click Finalize and Generate Pay Stubs.

💡 You won’t see a confirmation message after generating pay stubs. Instead, you’ll be returned to Pay Center, where your new pay stubs appear in the pay stub list.


🔍 Filter Generated Pay Stubs

Filtering the pay stub list by date range helps you find the pay stubs for the pay period you’re getting ready to run.

  1. In Pay Center, use the date filter on the pay stub list to select the date range for your pay period.
    ​

  2. Click Refresh.


🔄 Send Pay Stubs to DaySmart Payroll

Once your pay stubs are generated and filtered, you can send the pay data to DaySmart Payroll for your payroll run.

⚠️ Check your date range: Sending pay stubs to payroll sends every pay stub in your filtered list at once. Before you send, make sure the date filter matches the pay period you’re paying.

  1. Confirm the pay stub list is filtered to the correct date range.
    ​

  2. Click Send Pay Stubs to Payroll.

🔔 Your pay data is now in DaySmart Payroll and ready for your payroll run.

Run Payroll for the Synced Pay Period

After your pay stubs are sent, you can run payroll in DaySmart Payroll using the synced data.

  1. In DaySmart Payroll, go to your payroll dashboard and find the pay period you synced.
    ​

  2. Click Run Payroll.

    ​

  3. Review the payroll. The earnings from Time To Pet populate automatically.
