Finalising a pay run has a few key benefits:
- Timesheets from that pay run cannot be edited (unless the finalisation is reversed)
- Finalising processes leave accruals and updates employee leave balances if Humanforce is calculating the leave accruals.
- The finalised pay run is the source of truth for certain payroll reports such as the Payroll tab in Data Explorer.
Note: if you do not finalise a pay run, the reports will use the last pay run ran
in that pay period.
Finalise
- From the menu, select Management > Timesheets > Payroll
- Select the Pay Company and Pay Period (if enabled) from the drop down list
- Select the Relevant Pay Run from the list
- Click the relevant processed pay run
- Click the Finalise button
You will get a message to let you know that it successfully finalised.
On the Payroll Processing screen, finalised pay periods will have a Yes in the Finalised column.
Note: Only one pay run per Pay Period per Pay Company can be finalised. This means
that if you have created multiple pay runs for a given Pay Period in a Pay Company,
the one you finalise should be the most accurate and complete pay run that
includes all staff.
