The FlexiTime to PayHero upgrade will copy all unpaid time entries across to your new PayHero account, ready for inclusion in your first PayHero pay.

There are some situations where you might need more of your FlexiTime timesheet history, particularly if your employees don't have a regular work pattern and you need their timesheet history to determine their Otherwise Working Days (OWDs).

 This is especially the case with a number of Public Holidays coming up, including Wellington Anniversary, Auckland Anniversary, and Waitangi Day! 

OWD calculations refer to timesheet history that falls within your Company Review Period, which you can find more information on here: Company Work Pattern. 

For example, the default Review Period in PayHero is eight weeks. A company with an eight week Review Period who migrate on the 17/01/2022 may need to import 6 weeks of timesheet history to fully inform their OWD calculations, in time for Waitangi Day. 

Whichever Review Period is selected by your company, you’ll want to make sure you have enough timesheet history to cover the entire period. For information on how to do so, refer to the steps below.

16. Click Refresh and check you're happy with the information
