How do I get started?

Click Get started, then use Proto to configure Payroll Processing System for your business. Pilot your actual pay calendar with approved employee terms, timecards, a deduction case and genuine settlement evidence. Have Payroll Manager and Finance rehearse their decisions before expanding.

Can we use salary and hourly compensation?

Yes. Compensation carries the salary or hourly rate with effective dates and a pay calendar. Payroll selects the terms in effect on the period end. Rehearse a dated change and compare the calculation with the approved source terms.

How do timecards reach payroll?

Enter work manually or configure the attendance or timesheet connection your team uses. Team Manager reviews submitted work. The daily cutoff process locks eligible manager-approved cards for the applicable calendar. Follow inputs to calculation.

Who approves a pay run?

Payroll Manager decides after reviewing the employee calculations and exceptions. The internal notice requests that review. Record the actual decision through the permission route agreed during setup, with the decision owner and date retained.

What does Paid mean?

A bank payment confirmation with a linked run and a nonempty reference can move a Computed, Reviewed or Approved cycle to Paid. Reconcile the reference with real bank evidence and check the earlier payroll decision separately.

How do we handle bank payment?

Review the employee’s verified account and allocation instructions, then use the company’s connected bank process for payment. Bring its authentic confirmation into payroll so Payroll Manager and Finance can reconcile the obligation.

What happens when an employee item is held?

Payroll Specialist records the hold reason and follows the compensation and detailed lines to explain the exception. Agree its treatment during calculation, approval and payslip preparation, then rehearse that case before releasing the cycle.

How do employees receive payslips?

Approval creates payslip records linked to the employee’s pay item. Payroll Manager checks the document on the Payslips page. Configure the storage and delivery channel, then verify that Employee can retrieve the correct period’s file through their own account.

How do we review filing reminders and tax forms?

Payroll Manager and Finance review the jurisdiction reminder and posted statutory withholding. Payroll Manager checks the employee artifact before issue. The connected filing partner supplies the external evidence used to record filing and its date.

Can we change the configuration later?

Use Proto to prepare the change with the responsible owner. Repeat affected calculations, approval behavior and access checks before release. Implementation explains the rehearsal, and pricing describes metered machine work.
