Pastel Payroll Support
Monday, August 29th, 2011Faster Load Times
Friday, August 19th, 2011We worked hard the last few weeks to reduce the load times on most pages. You will now notice an improvement loading schedules, approving timecards or running reports.
Blackout Periods
Monday, August 15th, 2011Several requests from clients prompted the addition of blackout periods for absence requests. Administrators can now add specific times within the year to prevent employees from requesting time off.
I’m not able to Update/Change a Schedule
Friday, August 12th, 2011If a schedule is posted, it can not be changed. You can tell if a schedule is posted by looking on the schedule screen and at the top right in bold green letters it reads:
![]()
To unpublish a schedule, click:
![]()
Once the schedule is unpublished, you will be able to make changes/updates. Don’t forget to re-publish it when you are finished!
Setting up Access Restrictions
Monday, August 1st, 2011
It is very important to setup access restrictions to avoid employees from punching in/out from home. Setting up access restrictions is very easy. From any computer within your businesses network, go to ‘Manage My Business’ and select ‘Access Restrictions’.

Your businesses IP will be shown in green and add a recognizable label in the edit field. This is telling our system that punch in/out is ONLY available from this IP. You can setup multiple locations too if you like, if you have multiple locations. Just follow the same process at each location.

Once you’ve clicked GO, you will see that you’ve registered your IP and you’re all set.
