Check identity, compensation, payment destination, statutory IDs, and effective dates.
-
Step 2: Calculate and review
Inspect gross pay, deductions, exceptions, and changes against the prior run.
-
Step 3: Approve the run
Apply the configured separation-of-duty controls before posting final payslips.
-
Step 4: Disburse and reconcile
Export or record payment batches, confirm settlement externally, and retain references.

FAQ
Common questions about Payroll
Understand which steps the software supports and which obligations remain with the employer.
Yes. Payroll can manage employees, pay runs, reports, and manual export workflows on its own. HR enrollment and Accounting journals are optional handoffs when those modules are enabled.
No. Payment files and statutory reports support your process, but the employer must execute payments, verify returns, file with GRA, and remit pension contributions. Payroll does not file or remit tax or pension contributions for you.
Posted payroll is treated as final history. Corrections use the controlled void, correction, or next-period adjustment workflows where applicable; the original payslip and journal are not silently edited.
