Payroll Close process

The Payroll Close process lets you export your organization’s payroll information from the application to your payroll system.

The Payroll Close process is typically run by the payroll administrator, who is responsible for ensuring that the payroll file generated by the Payroll Close process is successfully sent to the payroll system so that employees can be paid.

To verify that a payroll export file is properly generated and sent to the native payroll system, these tasks must be completed:

• Verify summary and adjustment information of a Payroll Close before export.
• Export the regular payroll.
• Adjust all relevant pay group pay period dates (start/end, adjust, Lock Down date, Timesheet Lockout).
• Export retroactive payroll in an on-cycle process.
• Optionally, export payroll for terminated employees in an off-cycle process.
• Optionally, export retroactive payroll in an off-cycle process.
• Reset the paid status after an export has occurred.

Most of these tasks can be accomplished using the Payroll Close Wizard. See Using the Payroll Close Wizard.
