About this course

Accurate payroll starts with accurate time. This course walks HR and payroll practitioners through the full timekeeping lifecycle in ERPat — from biometric and mobile time capture, through shift schedule configuration, to the validation and locking of attendance records before they feed the payroll run.

You will learn how to interpret raw time logs, apply rounding and grace period rules, compute overtime and undertime correctly under Philippine labor standards, and manage exceptions such as missed punches, official business, and offsetting.

  • Configure biometric devices and alternate time sources (mobile GPS, web punch)
  • Design shift schedules including split shifts and night differential windows
  • Apply DOLE-aligned overtime, undertime, and tardiness computation rules
  • Resolve attendance exceptions before the cut-off deadline
  • Lock attendance periods to prevent late edits after payroll processing
  • Reconcile locked attendance data against payroll disbursement reports

The reconciliation walkthrough between locked attendance and payslips is something our finance team has been asking for. Immediately applied it to our monthly closing process.

Katrina Joy Villamor 3.0

Good content overall but I found the overtime computation module a bit fast for beginners like me. Had to replay it twice to fully grasp the approval gating logic.

Christian Paolo Reyes 5.0

I manage a manufacturing site with rotating shifts, and the shift schedule module gave me exactly the split-shift and night differential setup I needed.

Rodel Francisco Tan 5.0

As someone who transitioned from manual DTR to biometric, this course bridged the gap perfectly. The exception-handling module alone saved us hours of back-and-forth with employees.

Michelle Anne Gatchalian 4.0

Solid, practical course. I wish there was a deeper dive into rest day OT stacking with holiday pay, but everything else was clear and well-paced.

Ana Liza Bermudez 5.0

The module on attendance lock policy finally explained why our payroll team kept rejecting late edits from HR generalists. Made total sense once I understood the workflow.
