Payroll Tips & Tricks

• Always preview before generating. The preview shows the exact same calculations as a real payroll run but does not save anything. Use it to verify every number before committing.

• Process payroll on the same day each month. Consistency helps you catch anomalies — if last month's total was CHF 45,000 and this month jumps to CHF 60,000, you will spot the outlier immediately.

• Use the time summary before generating. The payroll time summary shows tracked hours per employee for the period. Review it first to make sure all hours are recorded and approved before they get locked into the payroll.

• Add correction lines instead of recreating payrolls. If you finalised a payroll and later find a small error, add a correction line in the next month rather than trying to redo everything. This keeps your audit trail clean.

• Export monthly for your accountant. After finalising, export the payroll as CSV or Excel and send it to your bookkeeper. The export includes all wage codes, amounts, and accounting references they need for the general ledger.
