STEP 2 - PAYROLL PREVIEW
 
Before processing pay details entered, it is important to preview the payroll for the pay period.
 
  • Click Payslips
  • Click Payroll Preview/Quick Edit
  • Check each employee's pay details carefully to ensure they are correct
  • ** beside an employee's name, indicates that the employee's pay details are different from the previous pay period
  • Click Close when check is complete
 
 
STEP 3 - UPDATE PAYSLIPS
 
Before proceeding, it is important to ensure that the payroll details entered for each employee are correct. This utility will process those payments.

  • Click Update payslips
  • Enter Payment date
  • Click Update
 
 
STEP 4 - BACK-UP DATA FILES
 
 
It is very important to take a backup to an external drive in order to protect your payroll. Taking a backup to an external drive ensures that your payroll is saved elsewhere and can be used to reinstate your payroll if you have PC breakdown or crash.
We strongly recommend NOT taking a backup to the C: drive as this does NOT protect your payroll software.
 
  • Select location to backup payroll files i.e. memory stick, network drive etc.
  • Click Backup

Email Payslips

A new feature allows the easy email of payslips to employees seamlessly directly from the payroll to the employee.

This email facility does not use your own Email account to send these payslips, they are sent directly via the Thesaurus server, without the requirement for the sender to access their email account.

Therefore a list of emailed payslips is not created, for this reason the employer should add their email address to their company details to whom a copy of each emailed payslip will be sent.

To set up this carbon copy (cc) email address go to

File> Amend Company Details>

Enter the email address, this can be amended at any time.

To set up the email address of an employee to which the payslip will be emailed go to

Employees> Add/Amend Employees>
