Process Payroll

Use Payroll Processing to calculate payroll for a selected period and group of employees. Verify all source data before processing because payroll affects employee results and financial reporting.

Before you begin

• Attendance, leave, overtime, loans, deductions, salary changes, and employee status are complete for the period.
• The pay period, pay elements, formulas, salary structures, and General Ledger accounts are configured.
• Required source transactions and approvals are complete.

Process the payroll

1. Select the payroll period and any employee, department, or payroll-group filters.
2. Confirm the period dates and employees included.
3. Review warnings about missing salary structures, attendance, bank details, or formula data.
4. Run the available calculation or validation action.
5. Review totals and exceptions before final processing.
6. Process the payroll and note the resulting payroll period or batch reference.

Review after processing

• Open Payroll Summary and compare totals with expectations and the prior period.
• Review a sample of employees, including new hires, leavers, unpaid leave, overtime, loans, and salary changes.
• Confirm employer costs, deductions, net pay, and payroll liabilities.
• Continue to Payroll Approval when approval is enabled.
