Understanding the payrun screen layout

How the staff list and transactions list work together in the payrun screen.

Updated over 3 months ago

The payrun screen has two main data columns that work together to help you process payroll.

Staff list (left column - yellow and white)

The staff list displays employees who have been selected (using Who to pay) or imported to pay (using the Import button)

To view an employee's transactions:

  1. Click on the employee's name in the staff list.

  2. Their transactions will appear in the transactions list on the right.

Transactions list (right column - green and white)

The transactions list displays the pay transactions for whichever employee is selected in the staff list.

Categories are organised by tabs:

  • Work: Paid time at work.

  • Leave Taken: Paid leave.

  • Allowances: Other payments.

  • Recurring Deduct: Regular deductions from net pay.

  • Sundry Deduct: One-off deductions.

  • Overheads: Additional costing (not actual payments).

Whichever tab is selected determines what the transactions list displays for the selected employee.

Transaction summary

A summary is provided to the right of the transactions list. It displays information about whichever transaction is selected in the transactions list.

Creating transactions

You can create transactions by:

  • Using the + button on the interaction bar at the bottom of the transactions list.

  • Importing data, which will automatically categorise transactions to their appropriate paycode and category

The tab you have selected determines what type of transaction will be created when you use the + button.
