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: Enter and post all outstanding timesheets and/or labor adjustments in the Transaction Center. Perform a database backup.

To run a regular payroll:

1. In the Navigation pane, select Payroll > Payroll Payments.
2. On the Payroll Payments form, click + New Payment Run and complete these actions:
   1. On the New Payment Run page of the Payroll Payments form, set the Run Type option to Regular.
   2. Enter information in the remaining fields on the form, such as the payroll date, payment date, and payment sorting options.
      For more information, see Process Regular Payroll Using Date Ranges and Where to Specify Payment Sort.
   For existing payroll payment runs, go to Open an Existing Payroll Payment Run.
3. Click Create New Run.
4. On the Employee Payment Selection page of the Payroll Payments form, complete the following actions:
   1. In the Employee Pay Details grid, select employees to include in the payroll payment run.

      If you are processing a manual process type of a payroll payment run, you must select the employees to include in the payment run. For more information, go to Select Employees for Manual Select Processing.

      If you are processing an automatic process type of a payroll payment run and you exclude employees, Vantagepoint then converts the process type of the payroll payment run you are working on to manual.

      Vantagepoint automatically saves changes that you make on the form.

   2. Review employee information on the Employee Review dialog box and apply overrides to current amounts as necessary.
      For more information, go to Review Employee Information Before Processing Payroll.
5. On the Actions bar, click Print Drafts.
   For more information, go to Review the Draft Payroll Journal.
6. On the Draft Payroll Journal that opens in a new browser window, review, download, print, or e-mail the details of the payroll payment run.
7. On the Actions bar, click Process Payments.
   For more information, go to Processing Payments in the Payroll Payment Run.
8. Click Yes in the series of validation steps that Vantagepoint displays.
9. On the Payment Printing and Numbering page of the Payroll Payments form, make sure to print payroll checks.
   For more information, go to Print Payroll Checks.
10. Assign payment numbers to transactions included in the payroll payment run.
    For more information, go to Assign a Check Number to a Single Check or Assign Check Numbers to a Group of Sequential Checks.
11. On the Actions bar, click Post Payments.

Next Step: If there are employees included in the payment run who receive payment via direct deposit, as indicated in the EFT column of the Bank Payments grid in the Payment Printing and Numbering page of the Payroll Payments form, Vantagepoint displays the Electronic Funds Transfer page of the Payroll Payments form for further processing.
