Overview

The Payroll Report on the Slingui platform was developed to provide schools and administrators with transparent, automated control over teacher compensation.

2. Page Overview

The Payroll Report page provides a consolidated dashboard containing:

• Total balance: The total number of classes credited to the teacher during the selected period.
• Date filter: An interactive calendar that allows you to filter and view information for a specific period only.
• Event list: A detailed history (statement) of all transactions (credits and debits) that affected the teacher’s balance during the filtered period.

2.1. Event List Columns

The event list contains the following information to facilitate auditing:

• Date: The date the event was generated in the system.
• Amount: The amount (in class units) credited to or debited from the teacher’s balance.
• Source: The origin of the action that caused the balance change.
• Class: The date and time of the class that generated the change (displayed only when relevant to the transaction).
• Owner: The user (administrator, teacher, system, etc.) responsible for performing the action that generated the event.
• Description: Additional details about the event (optional field).

3. Accounting Rules (Credits and Debits)

Slingui automatically calculates a teacher’s credited class balance based exclusively on changes to class Status.

The system’s logic divides statuses into two implicit categories:

• Payable statuses (Done, Late Cancel).
• Non-payable statuses (Scheduled, Early Cancel, Canceled by School/Teacher).

Whenever a class status changes, the system applies the following rules to generate single-unit Credit (+1), Debit (-1), or No event (0) entries:

Initial Status	New Class Status	Effect on Balance
Scheduled	Done	Credit (+1)
Scheduled	Canceled by School/Teacher	No change
Scheduled	Canceled by Student (Early Cancel)	No change
Scheduled	Canceled by Student (Late Cancel)	Credit (+1)
Done	Scheduled	Debit (-1)
Done	Canceled by School/Teacher	Debit (-1)
Done	Canceled by Student (Early Cancel)	Debit (-1)
Done	Canceled by Student (Late Cancel)	No change
Canceled by School/Teacher	Scheduled	No change
Canceled by School/Teacher	Done	Credit (+1)
Canceled by School/Teacher	Canceled by Student (Early Cancel)	No change
Canceled by School/Teacher	Canceled by Student (Late Cancel)	Credit (+1)
Canceled by Student (Early Cancel)	Scheduled	No change
Canceled by Student (Early Cancel)	Canceled by School/Teacher	No change
Canceled by Student (Early Cancel)	Done	Credit (+1)
Canceled by Student (Early Cancel)	Canceled by Student (Late Cancel)	Credit (+1)
Canceled by Student (Late Cancel)	Scheduled	Debit (-1)
Canceled by Student (Late Cancel)	Canceled by School/Teacher	Debit (-1)
Canceled by Student (Late Cancel)	Done	No change
Canceled by Student (Late Cancel)	Canceled by Student (Early Cancel)	Debit (-1)

4. ⚠️ Important Notes

To ensure an accurate financial close, keep the following system behaviors in mind:

1. Required assignment: The Payroll Report is only updated by classes in which the teacher in question is selected as the class’s teacher in the system. Classes without an assigned teacher do not generate events in any teacher’s report.
2. Multiple teachers (Co-teaching): If you select more than one teacher to teach the same class, the credit and debit rules in the table above apply to all selected teachers. In other words, a completed class (Done) generates a single credit in the report of each teacher assigned to it.
3. “Block Time” events: Calendar events created with the “Block Time” type are exclusively for organizing schedules and do not generate any event (credit or debit) in the payroll report, regardless of status.
