Saving and resuming a pay run

Pressed for time or need to check something? Why not save the pay run you're working on and finish it later. When you resume a saved pay run, you can change any of its details before finalising.

To save a pay run

When doing a pay run, click Save and Close to save your progress and close the pay run.

Example pay with save and close button highlighted

If you change the details of an employee in a saved pay run, and the change affects their pay amount, you'll be prompted to either:

  • save the changes – the saved pay run will be deleted so you can start a new pay run using the updated employee details, or

  • discard the changes – this allows you to resume the saved pay run with the employee's current details. You can then update their details after the pay run.
