Is Axial Shift a payroll system?
Short answer
No. Axial handles scheduling, time and attendance, and tip pooling, then sends hours, overtime and tips to the payroll system you already use, such as Dayforce, UKG, Paylocity or Workday.
- Axial assigns hours and overtime to the store where they were worked.
- Labor rules are configurable by locale, with full support for complex cases like California.
- Your payroll system stays the system of record for pay; Axial sends it hours, overtime and tips.
- Tips are paid through your payroll export, with no processing fees and no escrow account.
