Run payroll

Create a pay run, calculate, submit for review, approve, finalize and publish payslips.

Each pay run moves through a controlled path with an independent check. The person who prepares payroll (the maker) cannot also approve it (the checker).

1. Go to Payroll → Run payroll. If this is your first run, select New pay run and define the pay period.
2. Check the readiness controls: attendance exceptions, pending timesheets and employee blockers must be cleared. Add one-off earnings or deductions under Inputs & overrides.
3. Select Calculate employee preview and review the results.
4. Add a note if you wish and select Submit for review. Submission locks attendance and freezes payroll inputs.
5. A different payroll checker reviews the register and selects Approve payroll, or returns it for correction with a note.
6. Select Finalize payroll.
7. Select Generate payslips, then Publish payslips so employees can see them.
8. Export the payroll register and statutory register as needed.

If a run is returned for correction, it goes back to the maker. Every step is recorded on the run’s history.
