Generate payroll

What this does

Admin/Payroll: creates the selected month's employee payroll results for review.

Before you start

You need salary create permission. Resolve readiness blockers and review salary, attendance, leave, and any applicable approved timesheets first.

Steps

1. Open Generate Payroll, select the month and year under Period, and check Payroll Readiness.
2. Select Generate Payroll. If prompted Payroll has warnings. Continue?, confirm only after reviewing those warnings.
3. Inspect Payroll Summary. To recalculate an editable generated run after corrections, select Regenerate; already-approved employee items are preserved, and pending items are rebuilt.

Result

Payroll Summary shows Generated results with employee items awaiting approval. Generation alone does not publish employee payslips. Approved runs must be unapproved before regeneration; finalized runs cannot be regenerated.
