Before you start

Active employees with pay structures.

Build the run.

From HR & Payroll, open Payroll runs and build one for the period — set the start and end dates, the pay date, and the frequency. It starts as a draft.

Calculate the run.

Calculate to produce a payslip for each included employee — gross, deductions, and net pay. Review the lines before submitting.

Submit and approve.

Submit the run for approval. A different person — not the one who calculated it — approves or rejects it. This separation of duties is enforced.

Post to the ledger.

Once approved, post the run. mujez books the payroll journal — salary expense, net pay payable, and statutory liabilities — and links the journal reference to the run.
