- Choose a new reporting period rather than switching halfway through payroll.
- Keep the old records in the format and location required by your retention policy.
- Set up workplaces, access and break rules, then demonstrate one complete day to the team.
- Check the first approved export against your existing payroll process before relying on it.
A simpler workflow still needs accurate entries and manager review. No automatic migration of old WhatsApp messages or spreadsheets is promised.
