Review your payroll for accuracy
Review your payroll for accuracy
Before you approve a payroll, review the pay period for accuracy. Some information to review is:
- All timesheets are complete for hourly employees.
- Any vacation, overtime, and sick pay are entered for hourly and salaried employees.
- Any benefits and deductions are added to the correct employees.
- The pay period start and end dates are correct.
- The pay date is correct.
The pay date determines the month in which payroll is reported. For example, if the hours worked in the pay period are in December and the pay date is in January, the information for this pay period is recorded in January.
Approve a payroll
Approving payroll is the final step to ensure your employees and independent contractors are paid. You cannot approve an off-cycle payroll - a payroll outside of your regular schedule.
To approve a payroll:
- On the left-side menu, select Payroll, then Payroll Dashboard or Run Payroll.
- Review your payroll information for accuracy.
- Click Review payroll notices to see any notices for this pay period. Acknowledge the notices or make the required updates to continue.
- Click Approve this payroll.
