The Approve Payslips screen allows you to view details by employee with comparisons to the previous Standard pay run.  

Make sure you check the Gross Variance and Net Variance columns. Alternatively you can also open payslips for each employee using one of the available links:

  • Current - Opens the Current payslip in another tab.
  • Previous - Opens the Last standard pay run payslip for the Employee in another tab.
     




For a more detailed look, run a variance report and select the current Pay Run to obtain a comparison to the last Standard type pay run.  If you don't have a customised report, then use the standard report which is accessible from the menu via Payroll Administration > Pay Reports > PR- Payslip vs Last Payslip Var Only Results

Recalculating a Payslip

If you manually adjust a payslip or add a detail line then you must recalculate the payslip to ensure that tax and superannuation are adjusted accordingly.

When Recalculating a Payslip there a few options available. In most situations you can recalculate using the default options.

Default options:

  • Reprocess Tax - checked
  • Reprocess Super - checked
  • Reprocess Percentages - checked
  • Normalise Leave - unchecked

When not to use defaults:

If you've added a Super or Tax line at the Enter One Off stage, or made manual changes to Super or Tax calculations when reviewing a payslip then you should not use the default options when recalculating a payslip as this may result you in your changes being overwritten. In such circumstances you should uncheck the relative checkbox (e.g. Reprocess Super or Reprocess Tax).

You should also ensure that the Payslip Balances.



Ensuring a Payslip Balances

If a payslip is edited and not recalculated it will not balance. A banner will appear at the top of the payslip advising that This Payslip does not balance, please correct by recalculating.
