Payroll
Pay and post the salary payment to ledger
When the payroll run is submitted under Payroll - Pay runs, it's time to send the payslips to the employees, send the payment file to the bank and post the salary payment. Read more on how to create pay runs in the topic Create new pay run.
The settings you have chosen on the employees and in the payroll settings will affect the payment and printing options that are available for you.
You can click the button Back to the pay run at the bottom of the page at any time to go to the current pay run. The Pay runs list button will take you to the list of all pay runs.
Send payslips to the employees
- Under Message to all employees, you can add a message that is shown on all payslips.
- Choose whether employees should see their payslips immediately or if you want to schedule when the payslips will be displayed:
Show now
Select Show now if you want all employees who use Payslip/Kivra to see their payslip as soon as you have clicked Send payslips.
This option is also used if all employees in the company have the setting that payslips should be sent as PDF. In this case, a PDF file with all payslips is created when you click on Send payslips.
Schedule
If you want to do the pay run in advance and then decide when employees, who use Payslip/Kivra, can get their payslips, check the Schedule box and select a date between the current date and originally expected pay date.
If you have both employees who should receive their payslips to Payslip/Kivra and employees who should receive their payslips in PDF format, select Schedule and select a date as above. The employees using Payslip/Kivra will then see their payslips on the selected date. For other employees, a PDF file is created when you click on Send payslip.
Schedule is shown as long as the originally expected pay date hasn't passed. Until the chosen date, you can cancel the scheduling and select another date. You can also choose to display the payslips immediately.
- Click Preview if you want to see all the payslips before they are sent. You can choose to display the payslips on the screen or create a PDF file.
- Click Send payslips to send the payslips to Payslip/Kivra and/or create a PDF.
All payslips that are to be sent as PDFs are saved in the same file when you click Send payslips.
If you want to send payslips to individual employees, for example if you have made changes to some payslips after all payslips have been sent, click on the Send payslips button and then Select employees.
If you want to send your payslips for approval, for example if you are working at an accounting office and want your customer to approve, we recommend that you use our signature service Sign.
