A tour of Payroll preparation in Arkon One: Pay periods, approved hours, overtime and the pre-payroll report and the controls you will use most.

The steps, written out

  1. Open Payroll preparation from the People and Payroll section of the left menu.
  2. Read the summary tiles at the top: Current pay period, Waiting for approval, Pay rates.
  3. Narrow the list with the search box and filters (Location).
  4. Read each row: Pay period, State, Employees, Hours, Overtime h, Gross pay.
  5. Use the Payroll settings button at the top of the page.
  6. Review the Pay periods section.

Tip

Payroll preparation gets your payroll data ready: approved timesheets, overtime split by your own rules, pay rates, gross pay, named earnings and deductions, and a Pre-payroll report you can print or export to CSV, Excel or PDF, plus a payroll export file for the system you use. If figures are wrong after closing, an Administrator presses Re-open pay period with a reason, fixes it and closes again; earlier exports stay stored.
