Payroll & compensation

Check payroll readiness

Admin/Payroll: check the selected month's Ready, Warning, and Blocked results.

What this does

Admin/Payroll: checks the selected monthly period for compensation, attendance, timesheet, leave, and period-level issues before generation.

Steps

  1. Open Generate Payroll and choose the month and year under Period. Type is fixed to Monthly.
  2. Read Payroll Readiness: READY means no detected warnings or blockers (Ready to generate payroll); WARNING means warnings but no blockers (Ready with warnings); BLOCKED means at least one blocker (Action required before payroll).
  3. Review Employees with issues for every issue, or All employees for the employee list. The Ready, Warnings, and Blocked totals count employees, with blockers taking precedence over warnings. Period-wide blockers mark all employees blocked; domain cards count issues, not unique employees.
  4. Follow the issue's Action and revisit the selected period after corrections. If readiness fails to load, select Try again; generation is disabled while readiness loads or has an error.

Result

READY permits generation; WARNING asks for confirmation; BLOCKED prevents generation. Already-approved employee items are not rechecked for regeneration. Readiness does not itself generate or approve payroll.
