What’s new and improved in Wagepoint 2.0
Save hours with employee self-onboarding
Lighten your workload by letting new hires enter personal information such as tax forms and banking details directly into Wagepoint. Easy-to-follow prompts guide your employees and contractors to simplify onboarding and take tasks off your plate.
Avoid surprises on payday with effective dating
Need to update an employee’s pay rate or remittance frequency mid-cycle? No problem. With effective dating, you can schedule changes to take effect immediately instead of waiting for the next pay run.
Run payroll without the panic
Never miss a payroll deadline with instant insight into your processing deadlines, pay periods, and pay dates. Wagepoint 2.0 even factors in bank holidays and highlights impacted pay dates.
Enhance payroll security with roles and permissions
Take charge of how your team accesses Wagepoint with 5 different types of user roles and permissions. Your 2.0 upgrade lets you control what users see and reduces tedious back-and-forth with your team.
Correct payroll mistakes with the adjustment tool
Easily fix past pay run records and year-to-date totals directly in-app. The adjustment tool updates your payroll data — but remember that you’ll have to move any money outside of Wagepoint.
