Close Payroll

Explanation

This activity is used to close a payroll once all calculations have been done. Closing the payroll means you are approving the result of all calculations. This initiates a transfer of all payroll-related data to relevant parts of the system for further processing and archiving. All data used for a specific payroll is no longer available for use in any other calculation and remains in the system as reserved.

Prerequisites

In order to perform this activity, a payroll with the Calculated status is required to be present in the system.

System Effects

• No more changes can be introduced to the payroll.
• Employee remuneration and benefits are calculated for the pay out.
• All applicable deductions are taken.
• Values of wage codes and parameters are irreversibly reserved for the payroll and taken to archives.
• All data documents become irreversibly reserved for the payroll.
