The following message is output confirming you are about to finalise the Pay Run:

Click the Finalise button from the message to start the approval process.

The Payroll path is updated as follows after the Finalise/approve stage is complete.

The Prepare, Retro and Finalise/approve stages are complete and now locked, however it is still possible to go back and redraft the Pay Run by selecting the Revert to draft option. The next expected stage in the Payroll process is BACS.

Outputs after Finalising/approving the Pay Run

Pay Run tab:

The Key dates, Payments and HMRC payments sections will be exactly the same as after the Draft Pay Run. The only exception after the Finalise/approve step has been completed is that an additional BACS section is shown:

Reports tab:

The reports available are the same as those available after the Draft stage.

Approvals tab:

This is a new tab available only after the Finalise/approve stage. Approval records are shown here.

Note: if you are running Gross Payroll this will be the final step. To move on to the next period go back to the Payroll tab, select your Payroll and open the next run.
