Create New Pay Run

To add a new Pay Run, first click on 'Pay Run' in the ribbon to open the tab. If more than one Pay Group exists for the company, select the relevant Pay Group from the drop-down box at the left end of the ribbon. In the 'Pay Run List' view, right click and select 'Add Pay Run'.

Select a 'Pay Run Type' from the drop down list, and select a pay period. 'In a New Pay Period' must be selected for a main run as only one main run may exist for any one pay period. If a 'Manual' run type has been selected an existing pay period may be selected. This is usually the best option but if uncertain, contact the Support Team for guidance.

If the run is not to bank, click the 'Exclude Employees From banking' option. A DC date is still required even if this option is used. For a PAYE Intermediary customer the run may also be excluded from IR files by ticking the 'Exclude PAYE Intermediary Deduction From Banking' option. 

If a timesheet or new employee from needs to be imported, tick the required option to go straight to the Import Wizard after clicking the 'OK' button. Only one of these two options can be selected at a time.
The pay run may be hidden on ESS if required. This means ESS users will not be able to see the pay run and therefore add data to the pay run. This is typically used for Manual Pay Runs, as employees may otherwise accidentally add timesheet information meant for the Main Pay Run.

Click 'OK' once required details have been selected, and your new Pay Run will be created.
