Payroll, pay slips & time

How do pay runs work?

Practical steps to help you get this right in Orbit.

The essentials

Overview

Your manager or payroll team reviews timesheets and pay details before preparing the pay period. The next steps depend on the payroll system your business uses. Ask your payroll team to confirm the process and pay dates for your store.

Before you start

Confirm the store and pay period with your payroll team. Final payment arrangements depend on your employer and payroll provider.

Step by step

  1. Review the time records for the period and resolve missing or incorrect hours.

  2. Complete the required timesheet approvals.

  3. Review the payroll or accounting preview, including employee matching and any reported issues.

  4. An authorised payroll user completes the export or sending process and checks the resulting status.

What to check

If you need more help

If a period cannot be sent, use the issue details to identify the affected employee or setting. Do not change approved hours simply to clear an unrelated provider issue.
