If you have not run a payroll before, approving a payroll begins your 30-day free trial payroll subscription.
Approve a payroll
If you have hourly employees, you must fill out a timesheet for the current pay period before you can approve the payroll. If you have salaried employees, their salary automatically populates based on the current pay period.
- On the left-side menu, select Payroll > Run Payroll.
- Review your payroll information for accuracy.
- Click Review this payroll to see any notices for this payroll. Review and acknowledge the notices, or make the required updates to continue.
- Click Approve this payroll.
When using direct deposit, you must approve each payroll three business days before the intended payday. Learn more about direct deposit timelines.
Your payroll cost amount and payroll withdrawal amount may differ if your payroll taxes are not withdrawn at the same time as your employee wages.
Approved Payroll Summary
The Approved Payroll Summary appears after approving your payroll period. To view past payroll summaries:
- On the left-side menu, click Payroll > Run Payroll.
- At the top right, click Approved Payrolls.
- Click on a pay period.
From this page, you can:
- Download a CSV or PDF of the Employer Summary and Statement of Earnings

- Delete the approved payroll
- Review and download employee pay statements
Delete an approved payroll
If a change is needed after a payroll has been approved, you can delete the approved payroll and start again, as long as the direct deposit has not been withdrawn. Learn how to delete an approved payroll.
