Time by Wagepoint seamlessly integrates with Wagepoint Payroll to streamline your payroll process. This guide offers clear instructions to make the most of this powerful tool.
How It Works
Upon connecting Wagepoint Payroll and Time by Wagepoint employees are manually mapped between the two systems, allowing you to import approved hours from the Time application into Wagepoint Payroll with a single click.
In the initial release (WP 2.0), it's important to understand that we do not support multiple jobs on the payroll side. Until we introduce support for multiple jobs and job mapping (expected January 2024) all recorded 'Time In' and 'Time Out' entries will be linked to a single job in the payroll system, irrespective of the number of jobs an employee may work in the Time system.
Set Up for Wagepoint Payroll

Set up Time by Wagepoint integration
1. In the navigation bar, go to Add-ons and select the Time by Wagepoint tile
2. After being directed to the connection page, click Connect.
3. You'll be redirected to www.time.wagepoint.com. Sign in to Time by Wagepoint.
4. After signing into Time by Wagepoint, click Connect to establish a link between time and payroll.
5. When you click Connect, it will take you back to Payroll where you'll need to perform additional setup to match individuals between the two systems. To get started, click on the People matching tab located at the top.
- If there's a clear match between the first and last names in both Time and Wagepoint, our system will automatically suggest these matches. You can simply confirm them with a click.
- However, if there are no clear matches or auto-suggestions, you have the option to manually establish the match. On the Time side (the right-hand side), click the drop-down menu and select the name you want to link.
- In cases where no match exists, you can try typing the name. If it still doesn't exist, please check the people profiles in Time. If necessary, add them, and then repeat the matching process.
6. Click Save to confirm your matches.
7. Once the matches have been saved, a Connected status indicates a successful connection.
