The General Payroll Settings allow administrators to define fundamental operational rules for payroll processing, establish correct time zones for precise attendance sync, and set up recurring pay periods for the organization.
To configure general payroll settings, time zones, and pay periods
- Log in to your Stafiqo account with administrative credentials.
- Navigate to Settings from the left navigation menu.
- Click on the Payroll tab under the Settings menu.
- Go to the General Settings section.
- Select the primary Time Zone for your payroll and company attendance rules from the drop-down list.

Note: Modifying time zones or pay period schedules after active payroll runs may affect current attendance calculations and pending pay statements. Always review upcoming payroll dates before saving changes.
