\n\t\tHow does Azucko Azucko is fully integrated with your employer’s Payroll\/Time & Attendance system and therefore will be updated by your employer with your hours worked and pay earned each week.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat happens if I don\u2019t see my last shift on the Azucko App?\n\t\t\t\t
Once your employer uploads the company logs to the Azucko portal, this will be reflected in the App.
Your employer records your hours, regardless of if they are irregular or not. The file that your employer records your hours on, is uploaded into the Azucko system, after they have been approved for payment. Once this is completed, your details will be reflected in the App.
That’s down to your employer’s systems. Sometimes a shift is logged automatically and swiftly. Other systems involve entering manual information. Azucko can only provide your pay on approved shifts worked. That approval process is defined by your employer.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIf I select to access income early on the App, when will I get this money?\n\t\t\t\t
Once you select an amount it will be in your bank account the following work day.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHow will I know if the money has reached my bank account?\n\t\t\t\t
Check your account balance online or at an ATM.
Your company Payroll team will need to see any transactions to accurately process the payroll. This doesn’t mean your manager will know. The level of confidentiality is the same as that used for payroll in general.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWill my employer be able to stop me using this service?\n\t\t\t\t
Yes. Employers control who can and cannot use the service. As it’s an added benefit for staff, employers maintain control over the service.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat if my employer does not sign up to the Azucko service, can I still use it?\n\t\t\t\t

In general, Azucko\u2019s income access service is available Monday to Friday. However your company Payroll team needs time to process everyone’s pay.

If it’s close to pay day, your Payroll team may be processing your payslip and need to finalise your deductions. If not, contact your payroll department to find out more.<\/p>\n
