Configure the requirements your teams work under, including employment and collective agreements, working-time rules and internal policies. These may include Australian awards, which set employment conditions. Set checks for rest periods, maximum hours, overtime, breaks, notice and qualifications. Checks apply to assignments, offers, swaps and roster publication, then to attendance and time approval. Effective dates, agreement versions, overrides and approvals are kept in the audit history. This supports your review process; your organization stays responsible for its obligations. ### How does approved time get to payroll? Workers capture clock-ins, clock-outs and breaks through Skedulo Mobile, a shared on-site kiosk, or a connected system using an API. Managers compare worked time with the schedule, review differences and approve the records. Approved time then goes to payroll through configured integrations. Payroll calculations and pay interpretation depend on your payroll tools and integrations. ### Does Skedulo replace our HR information system? Skedulo focuses on planning and coordinating frontline work, and exchanges worker, schedule and approved-time information with your HR information system and payroll systems. With Workday, worker and leave records sync automatically from Workday Human Capital Management (HCM), and timesheets go back to Workday. We confirm the fields and timing for each flow during setup. Workday HCM remains the source of truth for worker and organization records. ### How does Skedulo handle credentials and expiry dates? Each worker's record holds their skills, qualifications and expiry dates. When assigning work, Skedulo checks the worker's credentials against the job requirements. It flags missing or expired information for review before the assignment is confirmed. Qualification data can come from your learning or HR systems through integrations. Your organization remains responsible for verifying professional eligibility. ### How does Skedulo protect workforce data? Customer data is encrypted in transit and at rest, within a formal security program. For current details, including the reports available to customers under NDA, see the [Skedulo security policy](https://www.skedulo.com/security-policy/). _Explore further_ ## Explore products, industries and related roles. ### Products - [Shift Scheduling](https://www.skedulo.com/product/shift-scheduling/) - [Analytics](https://www.skedulo.com/product/analytics/) - [Workday integration](https://www.skedulo.com/integrations/workday/) - [Pulse Platform](https://www.skedulo.com/platform/) ### Industries - [Healthcare & Human Services](https://www.skedulo.com/industries/healthcare-human-services/) - [Security & Facilities](https://www.skedulo.com/industries/security-facilities/) - [Manufacturing & Light Industry](https://www.skedulo.com/industries/manufacturing-light-industry/) - [Retail](https://www.skedulo.com/industries/retail/) ### Related roles - [Schedulers and dispatchers](https://www.skedulo.com/solutions/schedulers/) - [Care coordinators](https://www.skedulo.com/solutions/care-coordinators/) - [Operations leaders](https://www.skedulo.com/solutions/operations/) - [Frontline workers](https://www.skedulo.com/solutions/frontline-workers/) ## See how Skedulo fits your workforce and HR team.
