Locking payroll

  1. Select Payroll Administrator > Cycle Processing > Payroll Cycle.
  2. Search for and select the check box next to the payment schedule to lock payroll for.
  3. Click Lock Payroll.
  4. Optionally, select the Use Prior Values check box to use the prior date and time from when the payment schedule was last locked.
    When a payment schedule is locked or relocked, current employee values are captured to the payroll cycle, including any changes since the last lock or relock.

    If the payment schedule remains locked, but individual employees are unlocked and had changes since the lock occurred:

    • Select the Use Prior Values check box to use the values from the last time that the employee was locked, including the date and time stamp values of the last lock.
    • Clear the Use Prior Values check box to use the current values, including the updated date and time stamp value. A blue alert is displayed on the employee under Employees in Cycle to indicate that the individual has a lock time override.
  5. Click Schedule or Submit.
