What to send your payroll provider before each pay run

Most payroll corrections start with something that was never sent. Before each cut-off, check five things (sample guide).

Hours or a rota export for everyone paid by the hour. New starters with their tax form and bank details. Leavers with their last working day. Pay rises with the date they start. Approved leave and sick days.

If something changes after you approve the payroll, tell your payroll specialist straight away. A small correction before payday is easier than one after.
