Run a Regular Payroll

A regular payroll run is the typical, scheduled payroll run for your employees. You can process a regular payroll run for one or more selected employees, or for all the employees in your enterprise.

Prerequisites: Make sure that you entered and posted all outstanding timesheets and/or labor adjustments in the Transaction Center. Perform a database backup.

To run a regular payroll:

1. On the Navigation menu, click Human Resources > Payroll > Payroll Processing.
2. On the Select Posting Run dialog box, select a payroll run and click Open.
3. On the General tab of the Payroll Processing form, set the Run Type option to Regular.
4. In the Process Type field, select Automatic (to select all active employees) or Manual Select.
5. Enter information in the remaining fields on the General tab, such as the payroll date, payment date, and sort options.
6. Click the Employee Review tab and review employee information.
7. If you are running a Manual Select payroll, select employees on the Employee lookup.
8. Click Process > Draft Run. DPS produces a Draft Payroll Journal for this regular payroll run. This report includes the information that will be processed during this run.
9. Review the Draft Payroll Journal and modify employee information if necessary.
10. When you are satisfied that the information is correct, click Save.

Process checks and payroll direct deposits, if applicable.
