Payroll
Approve & lock
Finalising a payroll run; locks the period and makes the figures immutable.
Approving a payroll run finalises it and locks the pay period. Locked figures can't be changed, and disbursement and statutory remittances only happen after approval. Re-opening a locked period is a rare, audited exception.
