It depends on the size of your team and how you currently track time. 

Our most recommended submission method is to submit directly in Prism.  It's fast and easy. If you're already on your computer sending us your time via email, it's even easier sending it to us through Prism.   

If you use Kronos, our time tracking tool, submit directly there to have it automatically integrate to Prism for payroll processing. No additional touches required!

If you use an external time tracking system, we recommend using one of our standard Excel templates to quickly import time into Prism for payroll processing.

To make it as simple and easy as possible for your team, we recommend selecting only one submission method.

All three submission methods support a variety of pay types and schedules. If you have a more complex payroll — tips, job costing, certified payroll, etc.— your Service Team can help you identify the best way to capture everything accurately.

Standard submission methods put your time data directly into the system, without manual revisions. This means faster processing, fewer opportunities for errors, and higher confidence when you submit payroll.

Standard import templates are pre-formatted Excel files designed to upload directly into Prism with minimal effort. It ensures your time data is structured correctly from the start, reducing errors and speeding up processing. Reach out to your Service Team to learn more about standard import templates.

Custom templates require significant manual reformatting before they can be loaded into our system, which adds time and increases the risk of errors. Our standard import templates are designed to work seamlessly with Prism, so your data goes in cleanly and your payroll gets processed faster.

Ask your Service Team about enabling Payroll Approval. With this feature, a designated manager at your company receives a copy of the payroll reports after your Service Team completes their audit. Once you've had a chance to review and give the final OK, payroll is posted — giving you an extra layer of visibility and peace of mind.
