How attendance turns into payroll
The point of connecting attendance devices is to automate the whole chain from punch to pay. In RushFlow, ZKTeco punches become attendance records, attendance drives the hours and absence used in payroll, and payroll produces the payslip — all in one system, with no export between an attendance tool and a separate payroll tool.
The chain
Each link is automatic:
- Punch on the ZKTeco device →
- Attendance record in RushFlow (per employee, per branch, per day) →
- Hours / absence summarised for the pay period →
- Payslip calculated, including the effect of attendance on pay →
- Accounts — the payroll run posts to your ledger automatically.
Attendance and the payslip
Payroll reads attendance as at the pay date, so late arrivals, absence and worked days are reflected in the calculation. Because the branch is on every punch, staff who work across outlets are attributed correctly.
What you still control
Automation handles the mechanical part; you keep the decisions:
- Leave approvals and adjustments
- Overtime and allowance rules
- Bonuses, deductions and one-off items
Frequently asked questions
Does attendance flow into payroll automatically?
Yes. Punches become attendance, attendance feeds the hours and absence used in the pay period, and payroll produces the payslip and posts to accounts — in one system.
Do I need separate attendance and payroll tools?
No. RushFlow captures attendance and runs payroll together, so there is no export or reconciliation between two systems.
