Payroll and tax
Run payroll and choose payout methods
Create a payroll run, review timecards and wages, and choose whether each employee is paid by direct deposit or a manual payout.
Use this article when payroll is ready to move from reviewed timecards to an actual payout.
Start in Payroll, open New Payroll Run, review the run details, then choose the payout method on the payout step.
Quick facts
Start here
- Payroll should start only after the timecards for that period are reviewed.
- Employee payout methods can differ, so the run may include both direct deposit and manual payouts.
- Inactive employees can still appear if they have valid timecards in the run period.
- Direct deposit issues should be resolved before you treat the run as fully complete.
Step 1: Start the payroll run
Step 2: Review wages, timecards, and payroll detail
Check the run before finalizing
Open the run detail from Payroll Runs or the payroll home screen.
Review employee wages, hours, taxes, and any warning rows before you move to payout.
Step 3: Choose the payout method
If direct deposit is blocked or partially fails
Do not ignore it. Review the employee-level payout state and resolve the problem before you treat payroll as fully done.
Manual payout may still be needed for the affected employee if the deposit path cannot complete in time.
Review the payout summary and employee methods
Open the payout step for the payroll run.
Confirm which employees use direct deposit and which ones should be handled through a manual payout path.
