Select the work period first
For the current period, open Pay → Check first paycheck free or Check paycheck. For a closed period, open History, select its dates, and choose Add this paycheck.
Check the dates shown at the top before choosing a document. A paystub’s issue date or bank-deposit date is not necessarily its covered work period. Record all work for that period before making a full-paycheck comparison.
Choose an input method
| Method | How to use it |
|---|---|
| Scan paystub | Use the document scanner on a supported device. Camera permission is requested when you choose scanning. |
| Choose photo | Select a clear image through the system photo picker. |
| Choose PDF or image | Select a paystub from Files. A cloud-only file may need to download first. |
| Enter manually | Type and confirm the relevant paystub facts without requiring a camera or document import. |
For a paper paystub, use even lighting, include the full page, and keep dates, line labels, and current-period totals legible. For a multipage statement, preserve the pages needed to interpret its figures. The app can retain an original even when automatic reading is incomplete; review the notice and use manual entry where necessary.
Scanning and text recognition are conveniences, not verification. Machine-read values still need your review.
Camera denied or import unsuccessful
Choose a photo, choose a file, or enter manually. When camera access is disabled, Open iOS Settings takes you to the app’s permission settings. A scanner option can be absent on an unsupported device.
For a file that cannot be read, keep your source file and try a readable PDF or image. Do not repeatedly replace an original without first checking whether a saved review already contains it. See import troubleshooting .
Resume instead of starting over
If the same period has an unfinished review, choose Resume saved review. Keep draft and close leaves the saved review available while closing the import flow; unfinished processing is cancelled.
Only one paycheck review draft is active at a time. When it belongs to another period, resume it from that period, or explicitly choose Discard the other unfinished review. Confirmed audits remain; an original used only by the discarded draft can be removed or queued for cleanup.
To correct a paycheck already saved, use Correct existing facts, keep original where offered. This changes reviewed values without requiring a new scan.
What happens next
You arrive at Review paystub. Review dates, gross, work completeness, and the comparison basis. No OCR suggestion should be treated as trusted simply because text was extracted.
Next: Confirm paystub fields .
