How to Lock Payroll?#

Locking a Payroll or applying a Payroll Lock will ensure that the Payroll generated for a month is frozen. Once locked, no further changes are allowed to the Payroll. At this stage the application takes a Snapshot of the Employee and Salary Information and ensure that any reports or data that is generated in future is exactly the same as what was processed and generated during the Payroll processing.

Follow the steps below to lock the payroll:

  1. From Salary tab click on Manage button.
  2. You will reach the Payroll Central screen
  3. Now click on the Month for which you need to lock the Payroll. This will display the Payroll properties.
  4. If the payroll is not locked, you will see the Lock button.
  5. Click on Lock Payrollbutton to Lock the payroll.
Use the Unlock Payroll with caution. Once a locked Payroll is unlocked, the reports that are generated may not match with the original reports. In case you need to unlock, please verify all reports and compare with earlier generated reports. Ensure that they match and then re-lock the Payroll.
