Payroll Processing Operations: Calculating Payroll

To calculate the payroll, click Calculate Payroll button. The screen will display the status Payroll.

1. Analyze the payroll: 
   • Review all Errors and Warnings. Errors must be corrected.  Warnings may be bypassed.
   • Review all reports for this payroll. There is a button on the Payroll Tasks notecard that allows you to Run all Reports at once if you choose to use it, or you can run the reports individually.
   • Review staff members included in this payroll:  Payroll > Payroll > Staff
   • Review staff members receiving casual pay in this payroll:  Payroll > Payroll > Casuals
   • Review staff members who were docked in this payroll: Payroll > Payroll > Docks 
   • Review staff members who received Workers Comp in this payroll: Payroll > Payroll > Works Comp
   • Review the Direct Deposit list:  Payroll > Payroll > Direct Deposit
   • Review the account distribution records for this payroll:  Payroll > Payroll > Account Distribution
   • Compare staff members’ base salary in this payroll from the previous payroll (to determine if there are issues):  Payroll > Payroll > Compare Salary
   • If any changes are made to any employee’s record after the initial calculation is done, click the Recalculate button to apply those changes to this payroll. NOTE:  This will NOT undo anything that was previously done.  Recalculate can be done as many times as necessary.
   • Critical - Next to the deductions total, click on the blue audit box to verify the wages have a green check mark on the Applied Wage Status line. If there is a warning, submit a help ticket so we can help fix it.  This will NOT stop you from continuing with the payroll.
