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.
