Resources / Payroll preparation

Give month-end a better starting point.

Use this payroll preparation checklist to review employee changes, attendance exceptions, leave decisions, salary rules and outputs before the next handoff.

01 / People

Review the employee changes.

Check joiners, leavers, effective dates and salary-structure changes for the period. Make sure the responsible people agree which records belong in the run.

02 / Working records

Resolve attendance and leave exceptions.

Review missing attendance, disputed records, leave decisions and schedule context. Keep a record of corrections and the person authorised to make them.

03 / Configuration

Confirm the rules before the calculation.

Review the configured salary components and relevant statutory treatment with the person responsible for payroll. This is an operational checklist, not tax or legal advice; requirements depend on the organisation and employee.

04 / Review

Check the output and the next handoff.

Review variances and unusual amounts before finalising. Distinguish calculation, approval, bank disbursement and statutory filing, and confirm who is responsible for each step. Confirm how employees receive their payslips.
