The month-end payroll checklist we wish we had sooner

Payroll mistakes are expensive, stressful and almost always preventable. This is the checklist our customers use to get it right first time.

Before the cut-off

Make sure every new joiner, leaver and change of salary is entered and approved.

• New starters have bank details and tax codes
• Leavers have a final pay date
• All overtime and leave is approved

Before you run

Compare totals with last month and investigate any change over 5%.

After payday

Send payslips, file reports and note anything to fix next month while it is fresh.
