The Talent → Payroll page is where your team’s money actually moves. It’s a unified view of everything that’s ready to pay: scheduled salary and fixed-rate payments, timesheet approvals, and anything already in flight.Documentation Index

What You’ll See on Payroll
The page combines three kinds of entries into a single list:Upcoming Payments
For salaried employees and fixed-rate contractors, Shor auto-generates the next payment based on the contract’s compensation and schedule. They appear as upcoming until you process them.
Submitted Timesheets
For pay-as-you-go contractors, submitted timesheets show up here for your review. Once approved, they become payments ready to process.
Existing Payments
Payments that have been queued, are in flight, or have already landed. Useful for tracking status and reconciling.
Processing a Batch of Payments
Filter and Select
Use filters (employment type, contract type, payment type, keyword) to narrow the list to what you want to process. Select the rows via the checkboxes: one, many, or everything on the page.
Open the Confirm Dialog
Click Process payments. Shor shows a summary: how many payments, which currencies, total amount, and anything that requires attention (insufficient funds, missing tax info).
Confirm
Confirm to kick off the batch. Shor processes each payment: for upcoming entries, it generates the underlying payment first; for pending ones, it releases them.
Payment Statuses on Payroll
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Upcoming | A scheduled payment from a contract, not yet generated or processed |
| Pending | Generated and queued, waiting to be processed or funded |
| Processing | Funds are moving to the worker |
| Completed | Arrived in the worker’s account |
| Failed | Didn’t go through; see the error detail and retry |
| Cancelled | Cancelled before being processed |
Insufficient Funds
If your connected bank doesn’t have enough to cover a batch, Shor stops before initiating any payment and prompts you to fund. Any payments that started before the shortfall are already in flight; the rest stay pending until you add funds.Automating Payroll
For teams that don’t want to manually process every cycle, Shor has two toggles in Settings → Payments:Automatic Funding
Automatically debits your connected bank account the evening before upcoming payments are due.
Automatic Payments
Processes upcoming salary and fixed-rate payments on their due date without manual confirmation.
Milestone and pay-as-you-go payments require your review and approval before any money moves: you still sign off on every submitted milestone or timesheet. Once approved, the resulting payment can auto-process if auto-pay is enabled on that contract.
Common Scenarios
A Worker Starts Mid-Cycle
A Worker Starts Mid-Cycle
Shor generates a prorated first payment based on their start date, unless their contract opts for the full amount. The upcoming payment appears on the Payroll page like any other.
Someone Leaves Mid-Cycle
Someone Leaves Mid-Cycle
Start an offboarding from the worker’s profile. Shor calculates final pay, any owed items, and adds it to the payroll list for processing.
I Need to Skip a Worker This Cycle
I Need to Skip a Worker This Cycle
Leave them unselected when you batch-process. Their upcoming payment stays on the list until you’re ready, or until you update their contract.
A Payment Fails
A Payment Fails
Failed payments stay on the Payroll page with an error badge. Click in for the specific reason (usually a bank detail mismatch or insufficient funds), fix it, and reprocess.
