Payroll Runs¶
Payroll runs calculate and process employee compensation for a given pay period. Each run computes gross pay, deductions, bonuses, taxes, employer contributions, and net pay for every active employee.
Overview¶
A payroll run:
- Gathers timesheet data for the pay period
- Calculates gross pay (regular hours + overtime)
- Applies bonuses and deductions
- Computes tax withholdings based on country tax tables
- Calculates employer contributions
- Determines net pay
- Generates payslips for each employee

- Navigate to the Runs tab
- Click Run Payroll
- Configure the run:
- Pay Period — Start and end dates
- Station Filter — All stations or specific locations (optional)
