Employee mapping links employees within Workforce Management with their profiles in Salaris Payroll. This is essential for payroll because hourly employees are paid from timecards in Workforce Management.
If an employee is not mapped, their timecards cannot be matched to a Salaris Payroll profile and they will not get paid.
When Salaris + Workforce mapping is needed
Hourly employees must be mapped to Workforce Management so timecards can flow into Salaris Payroll.
Salaried employees do not require Workforce Management profiles. These employees can exist only in Salaris Payroll and be marked as “Ignore this employee” on the mapping page.
How to map employees
Option 1: Employee exists in both Salaris & Workforce
Employee mappings shows payroll employees who are not yet mapped to Workforce Management. The banner indicates how many employees still require mapping. The goal is for this page to be empty, meaning all employees are either mapped or marked as ignored.
In Salaris > Settings > Employee mappings > find employee
In Workforce Management column > choose the matching Workforce Management profile
Save
Once saved, timecards from Workforce Management will flow automatically into Salaris Payroll.
Option 2: Employee exists only in Workforce Management
In Salaris > Employees > Add employee
Select Employee name >
Complete missing details >
Send invite > Save
Option 3: Employee exists only in Salaris Payroll
(Typically Salaried employees and contractors)
On the Employee mappings page, open the Select option dropdown.
Select Ignore this employee.
Select Save.
This confirms the employee does not require Workforce Management mapping.
Viewing mappings
To view an existing mapping:
Open the employee profile in Salaris Payroll.
Select ⋮ → View employee mapping.
A modal shows the linked Workforce Management profile.
Mappings cannot be edited once saved. If a correction is needed, contact Salaris Payroll Support.
Why employee mapping matters
Without proper mapping, Salaris Payroll cannot match Workforce Management timecards to employees. This means employees will not be paid. Reviewing and maintaining employee mappings ensures payroll runs smoothly and accurately.
