PAY INSTRUCTIONS
Allowances, reimbursements & deductions
Effective-dated instructions are retained with their balance and payroll history. One-off pay-run adjustments remain in the pay run.
Effective-dated pay change
The previous pay terms end the day before this date. Locked payroll is never recalculated.
Worker-pay rules Calculated from start/finish times when payroll is previewed
Termination
Not set
Keep this in draft while details are being checked. Ready terminations are included automatically in the pay run containing the last working date, even when the employee has no timesheet. Completion is recorded only when that run is locked.
If the employee has passed an annual-holiday anniversary, enter the reviewed remaining entitlement below. NZ Pay values it at the higher of ordinary weekly pay and average weekly earnings, adds the part-year accrual, and will not guess a missing balance. A public holiday on an otherwise working day in the notional extension is paid separately.

WORKFORCE / DATA INTAKE
Import payroll data
Preview the complete file, correct any errors, then accept it into this payroll database.
Import from another system
The employee template covers salaried and hourly staff, temp/casual workers, and contractors. Set type to salaried, hourly or contractor, and employment_type to permanent, fixed_term, temp, casual or contractor. Contractors use contractor in both fields. Existing workers do not need to be re-imported when you import a later timesheet file.
Download the template, map the other system’s employee IDs and dated shifts into it, then preview the file. NZ Pay stores accepted rows as its own timesheets; the source name is retained for audit and repeat-import protection. This screen never contacts the other system.
Use this order: employee records, temp/casual work assignments and rates, verified leave opening balances and deduction plans where applicable, then dated timesheets. Give every source record a stable external_ref. Opening balances are accepted only before NZ Pay-owned payroll history for that leave type and cannot later be rewritten. When two jobs overlap, put the assignment external_ref in the timesheet’s assignment_ref and use the same source name for both imports; or use the NZ Pay assignment_id shown in preview. A changed assignment rate must go through the effective-dated rate workflow. Legal employment blocks are derived from locked pay, not imported or manually created.
Supply date, hours or start/finish/break, and an approval status. For leave, set shift_type to annual_leave, sick_leave, bereavement_leave, family_violence_leave or alternative_holiday. Use public_holiday for a paid unworked public holiday and public_holiday_worked only when work was performed. Ambiguous leave or stat rows are rejected rather than guessed. Hours without approval status stay drafts; an authorised approver may explicitly attest that the source file was approved. The JSON API accepts the same fields for integrations. Do not import another payroll system’s calculated pay outcomes as raw timesheets.
