The crew charged 5 hours, the customer complained, you found a 30-minute overcharge and fixed the closing. Now the payroll must follow — for everybody on it, in one press.
Before you start
You need Edit payroll. The button shows only on a job that already has a payroll.
Update it
- Open the order and fix the closing (labor, travel, materials…) and save.
- On the closing side, find the Payroll card and press Update payroll from closing beside its title.
- MoveBoard works it out and shows, for each person whose pay changes, the old and new figures and their total (old → new). If nothing changes it says "The payroll already matches the closing."
- Press Update everyone (or Cancel).
What changes and what stays
"Hours and commissions follow the closing. Each person's rates and percentages, and any bonus or line added by hand, stay as they are."
- Hourly — the hours become the closing's; the pay per hour stays.
- Packing, Additional Services, Commission from Total — the base becomes the closing's figure (or the estimate's, for a commission paid on the estimate); the percent stays.
- Tip — the closing's tips; each person's share stays.
- Kept exactly as they are: per-job bonuses, receipts, any line you typed in by hand, and a second line of a type the person already has.
Nobody is added or taken off. To change who is on it, open the payroll itself.
When the crew re-submits the bill of lading
If a re-submitted bill would change a payroll someone edited by hand, MoveBoard leaves it alone and shows "The bill of lading was re-submitted. Check the payroll." Press Update payroll from the new bill to see the same preview for that job, and Update everyone to apply it.
If something goes wrong
- "The payroll could not be read." / "The payroll could not be updated." — nothing changed; try again.
- "No connection. Try again."
