Automated Wagepoint Payroll Approval Handoff

Each pay cycle, WebRun opens Wagepoint, checks the run awaiting approval, creates a Trello card summarizing total hours, gross pay, and any flagged changes, and pings the approver on WhatsApp to review before it processes.

In short

How do I get a Wagepoint payroll run summarized before I approve it?

WebRun checks Wagepoint every pay cycle for the run awaiting approval, creates a Trello card summarizing total hours, gross pay, and any flagged changes, and pings the approver on WhatsApp to review it. It never submits the run itself, so the final approval always stays with a human in Wagepoint.

  • Approvers get a ready summary instead of raw Wagepoint data
  • Unusual pay changes get flagged before approval
  • Payroll approval becomes a quick WhatsApp check, not a scramble

Questions, answered

Does WebRun approve or submit the payroll run?

No. WebRun only summarizes the run and hands it off. Approving and submitting always happens in Wagepoint, by a human.

Does it message employees about pay?

No, the WhatsApp ping goes only to the internal approver. WebRun never contacts employees about their pay.

What counts as flagged?

Any hours or gross pay total that looks unusual compared to the prior run, called out on the Trello card before the approver signs off.
