Overview
Generating your monthly payroll in Laywork ensures each employee is paid accurately and on time. You can include expense claims, time logs, and attendance data to calculate net salary automatically.
Step‑by‑Step Instructions
Navigate to Payroll
From the sidebar, go to HR → Payroll → Payroll.
Select Year & Cycle
At the top, choose the Year, Salary Cycle (e.g. Monthly), and Month.
Include Payroll Components
✅ Include Expense Claims: checks expense reimbursements.
✅ Add Timelogs to Salary: converts logged hours into pay.
✅ Use Attendance: factors in absences or late marks.
Filter by Department or Employee (optional)
Department dropdown lets you run payroll for a single team.
Employee dropdown lets you generate for one person.
Click Generate
Laywork processes your settings and lists the results below.
Tips
Run a “test” for one employee first to verify settings.
If you use multiple pay cycles (e.g. weekly, bi‑weekly), double‑check the cycle selector.
Make sure all time logs and expense claims are approved before generating.
Troubleshooting & FAQs
Q: No data appears after Generate
A: Ensure you have selected at least one employee or department. Verify that the selected month contains approved time logs or expense claims.
Q: Payroll took too long
A: Large teams with extensive time logs can slow processing—try filtering by department or running in off‑peak hours.
Q: I forgot to include expense claims
A: Delete the generated entry (see next article) and re-run with “Include Expense Claims” checked.
