Run your first payroll
From employees to an approved run with payslips: run, review, then approve.
Make sure each employee is active and assigned a salary structure (on the employee's Compensation tab). Then open Payroll → Run payroll.
The page shows live preview tiles (employees, gross, PAYE, net) and a Pre-run checks card that flags anomalies: a missing bank account, a zero net, an unusually large change. These are advisory; resolve the high-severity ones first. Click Run payroll for the open period.
A draft run appears. Review the payslips and the variance report, then click Approve & lock. Approval locks the period and makes the figures final. You decide who approves. Switch on Payroll controls and a second person must approve the run, the payment batch and bank changes. From there you can create the payment batch and generate remittances.
