Run payroll
Pay your team and keep tax and deductions worked out for you.
Open Payroll
Go to HR & Payroll → Payroll tab. You'll see a list of past pay runs and a New Pay Run button at the top.
Start a new pay run
Tap New Pay Run. Choose the Pay Period — Monthly is the default; pick the correct month and year. The system auto-includes all active employees who were employed before the period end date.
Review the salary breakdown
Each employee row shows their Gross Salary, any allowances from their salary template, and the calculated PAYE tax, pension contribution, and any other statutory deductions. Check for anyone who looks wrong — a blank row usually means their salary wasn't set.
Add bonuses or extra payments
To add a bonus or commission, tap the employee's row and use Add Allowance to enter the type (e.g. Performance Bonus) and amount. The net pay recalculates immediately.
Add one-off deductions
To make a deduction (loan repayment, advance recovery, disciplinary), tap the employee row and use Add Deduction. Enter the description and amount. The net pay updates.
Preview the payroll summary
Scroll to the summary at the bottom: Total Gross, Total Deductions, Total Net Pay, and Total PAYE. If anything looks off, go back and correct the employee's row before approving.
Approve the pay run
Tap Approve Pay Run. You'll be asked to confirm — once approved, payslips are generated for every employee and payroll becomes locked (you'll need to reverse it to change anything).
Share payslips with staff
Tap Send Payslips to email payslips to all employees who have an email address on file. Individual employees can also download their payslip from the staff portal.
Download remittance schedules
Use the Export button to download the PAYE Remittance Schedule (for FIRS/SIRS) and the Pension Remittance Schedule (for PenCom) ready to file and pay.
Mark as paid
Once you've transferred salaries to your team, tap Mark as Paid to close the pay run. The payroll history records this date for your audit trail.
