Finalising and processing pays

Step three of the pay process - committing the draft to final pay.

Updated over 3 months ago

Once you've reviewed and audited your draft pay and are confident everything is correct, you can finalise it by processing the pays.

Processing the pays

Click Process Pays to finalise, then process within the Process Pays window.

Important: The dates you are processing for are displayed in the centre at the top of the blue navigation bar. The dates within the Process Pays window are the next suggested dates.

This will:

  • Convert transactions into pay history.

  • Update leave balances (accruals and usage).

  • Produce post-process reports and files.

  • Create a backup of the current pay process (prior to processing).

  • Roll forward the pay dates.

What happens when you process

Permanent records created

The draft pay becomes permanent pay history that cannot be easily changed.

Leave balances updated

All leave accruals and deductions are applied.

Reports generated

Post-process reports are automatically created.

System rolls forward

Pay dates advance ready for the next pay period.

Backup created

An automatic backup is saved.

Important note

Once you click Process Pays, the pay run is finalised. While corrections can be made later, it's more complex than fixing issues in draft.

Make sure you've thoroughly reviewed everything before processing.

Next step

After processing pays, complete the post-process tasks including tax reporting and banking outputs.
