Close in Advance
Close in Advance Function
Close in Advance allows you to open a new pay, if you have completely finished processing your current pay.
The money is debited from your account, employees receive their pay, the "you've been paid" email and Payday files are sent on the dates stated on the payroll.
Payslips are generated to the employee kiosk at the time of the Close in Advance.
Users with Paymaster or Confirmer access can request this by phone or an email to the helpdesk.
You are not able to Close in Advance your first payroll.
Customers with the Payment options: Nett Payments - Managed by Yourself and Transmit own File to Bank (generating a file to upload to your bank), Two Day Direct Debit - (you must confirm your payroll 2 days prior to employees pay date) and File Sent on Your Behalf (currently customers using BNZ and ANZ) can Close in Advance payrolls from the confirm screen themselves.
Payslips are in the kiosk but iPayroll sends the "you've been paid" email on the final Close process as part of our banking procedures.
A user with Paymaster or Confirmer access will have the ability to Close in Advance.
Once a pay is Closed in Advance, no changes can be made by yourself or iPayroll.
Your new payroll cannot have the same date as the pay that has been Closed in Advance - please contact our Helpdesk.
