Transcript

Payroll desk

Payroll sits alongside finance for many schools and often shares the accountant role.

Sign in

Sign in as accountant, then open Payroll from Finance or HR.

Open payroll

Open payroll runs to see periods, status, and staff pay lines.

Create or select a run

Open the current period or start a new run for the pay cycle you are processing.

Pay items

Confirm allowances and deductions on the run before approving anything.

Review staff lines

Scan individual lines for missing bank details or unusual totals.

Approve carefully

Approve only when totals match expectations; corrections are harder after release.

After approval

Staff can view payslips from self-service once the run is approved.

Tip

Keep a short checklist for bank details and tax items before every approval.
