How do I Lock the 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.

To lock the Payroll, perform the following action:

  1. Reach the Payroll Central screen by clicking on the Payroll Central menu bar under the Payroll menu.
  2. You will reach the Payroll Central screen.
  3. Click on the hyperlink on the month for which you want to lock the Payroll for payroll processing (see box 1)
  4. This will display the Payroll Central General Properties screen.
  5. If you have not locked the Payroll, then you will see the Lock Payroll button.

  7. If you have already locked the Payroll, then you will see the button Unlock Payroll. If you wish to unlock the Payroll, click on this button.
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.
