I use Toast Payroll: Ask Me Anything!

[Grillbird]

Hello Toast Community, 

My name is Matt and I’m the owner of Grillbird located in Seattle, WA! I switched to Toast Payroll over 2 years ago and it’s been a really easy experience for us. I (and my CPA) was hesitant at first to make the switch, but we've never had any issues and it's made so many aspects of payroll from onboarding to making adjustments so much easier. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns if you are thinking about making the switch.

In Toast Payroll are you using the recruitment portion and the TAFW? I'm interested in your experience using those aspects.

We're not currently using the recruitment features as we're just one small shop right now, and recruitment usually happens more from word-of-mouth, however this feature is super comprehensive and in a restaurant with  a lot of positions and turn over, I can see this being really useful. 

As for TAFW mainly using sick pay adjustments, this is easily handled when processing payroll. Each employees sick pay accrument is on their profile (Time Off) and can be viewed and implemented to payroll. You may see two buckets of sick pay, "Sick" and "Carry Over" and both can be used interchangably as needed.

Double check that when you record sick pay during payroll that it is deducting from TAFW totals.  We onboarded in January and this was not set up correct by Toast onboarding.  Support explained to me that employees were supposed to log in to their payroll profile and request sick time, then me to approve it for payroll for it to go against their TAFW balance.  We do not have employees do that. Instead, they request it directly from their manager who then forwards the request to me for processing. I had to go back for the last 11 months and manually adjust each employee that has been paid sick time. We have 100+ employees.  Check your settings
