What should you check before issuing payroll?

Give the review its own place in the pay cycle

StarGarden documents a pay cycle that separates time entry and posting, accrual processing, pay-to-net calculation, reports, payment production and close. That sequence gives payroll teams specific points at which to examine the results before moving on.

Use the reports to investigate the result

The pay-to-net process produces reports showing calculations and results. The documented workflow calls for these to be reviewed for discrepancies before payment production. Where a correction is needed, the team can return to the relevant earlier processing stage. Reports for an existing calculation can also be reproduced; printing them again does not recalculate the pay.

Check the underlying data as well

The payroll guide also describes an integrity-checking process intended to identify data problems that could affect processing or reporting. This matters particularly where an organisation has custom processes that update payroll-related data. A result that is difficult to interpret is a reason to involve support.

Bring your own payroll example to the demonstration

A useful evaluation starts with one of your actual challenges: several payroll groups, recurring exceptions or a report that is difficult to reconcile. Ask to see the calculation, the review reports and the route for resolving an exception. That shows your team how the process would work in practice.
