Hubstaff offers manual payment as an alternative to our automatic payments feature. This offers you the flexibility to pay for your team’s work anytime.
Before you are able to follow this guide, please ensure that you have first set up a payment gateway and that your members have been added to the payroll otherwise, you will only have the option to export payments. If no payment gateway is set up, you will not be able to submit the payment.
Payroll payments are only available on Premium and Enterprise plans. To upgrade, click here.
Please set up one of these payment gateways before continuing:
Step 1
To pay users manually via Hubstaff payroll, go to Financials > Send Payments section and click on the Pay for hours tab.
Step 2
Customize the date range and filter to specific projects or users that you’d like to pay. You can select dates for up to 30 days.
If you are required to pay for more than a month’s payment, you can stagger the payments into monthly periods.
You should see the Rate, Regular hours, and Overtime for each team member. You can filter the payments by member or project (5). Furthermore, you can also view a detailed report showing the payment breakdown by date by clicking on Report Type (6). Hit Apply for these changes to take effect. After you hit Apply (7), you can edit the user’s pay rate by pressing the Edit Pay Rate button.
Step 3
Then click on the Send Payment (9) button. After clicking the Send Payment button, a new window will pop up, and you’ll be able to confirm the payment amount, organization, and the users that are included in the payment. Once this is done, click on Mark as paid to continue.
Step 4
Next, choose the payment gateway that you want to use for this payment and click Send Payment.
Fixed Amount
If you’d like to make payments for anything outside your employee’s work hours, you can use our One-time payment feature. This sends a payment to your employee and keeps a record of the payment on the Financials > Past payments section.
