The POLYGON PAYROLL module reached end of life on 30 June 2021 and this was communicated to all clients licensed with this module.
This module is no longer supported.
Historical transactions may be accessed although entry of new payslips is no longer possible.
When the Polygon Payroll add on-module is installed, Employee Work Types can be used to associate staff shifts to a range of different work types. The work types are in turn linked to different Ledger Accounts. This lets you organise wage expenses more clearly by assigning different shifts to different ledger accounts. For example Standard shifts could be recorded against a Salaries and Wages expense account while trainee shifts can be recorded against a staff training expense account. This allows you to easily see where your expenses are going.
From Polygon Back Office, Select Accounts from the main menu and then select Employee Work Types Note: This form is only available when the Polygon Payroll add on module is installed and Work Types are enabled. See below for instructions explaining how to enable work types.

•Expand the Polygon Payroll heading and select General;
•Set the Post timesheets using GL accounts from option to Work Types.

•Work Types are enabled at the FOH on a location by location basis. To enable use of work types at a location, access the POS Location settings for each location where work types will be used. Go to the POS Location Settings > POS Terminal Settings > Time and Attendance Settings - General section and tick the Use Work Types setting.
To create a work type
•From Polygon Back Office, access the Employee Work Types file by selecting the Payroll menu, then selecting Employee Work Types;
•Click on the Line Item button
on the last line in the Employee Work Types File;
•Select the desired Ledger Account from the Chart of Accounts file;
•Enter the Work Type Name (this name will be used to identify work type when resetting staff timesheets);
•Enter the Work Type Code. Each Work Type must have a unique Work Type Code. The system uses this code to identify work types.
Once you have created your work types they can be assigned to staff member's shifts at the FOH or at the BOH. See section FOH > Time & Attendance > Managing Shifts for information about assigning Work Types at the FOH. See section Polygon Payroll > Timesheet Details form for information about assigning work types at the BOH.
