A payroll run works out everyone's pay for a single period and produces a pay slip for each employee. NexerIQ does the maths for you — gross pay, tax withheld, and net pay — based on each person's pay setup and recorded hours. You'd use this each time you pay your team, with a clear approval checkpoint before any money goes out.
Start a run
- Go to Payroll → Payroll runs.
- Select Create payroll run.
- Set the Period start, Period end, Pay date, and Currency, then save.
NexerIQ calculates each employee's pay slip as part of the run, so you don't run the calculation as a separate step.
Check the numbers
In the runs list you can see each run's Status, Employees, Gross, Tax amount, and Net amount. Select View pay slips on a run to open the per-employee breakdown of gross pay, tax withheld, and net pay, with totals at the bottom.
Approve and pay
- When the figures look right, select Approve run. A run can only be approved once it has at least one employee.
- For an approved run, use Download bank file to get the payment file for your bank, and Download statutory report for the period's reporting file.
- Once your team has been paid, select Mark as paid.
A run moves through Draft → Calculated → Approved → Paid, so you always know where it stands.
Government submissions
For an approved or paid run, select View submissions to see any statutory submissions, their status, and reference numbers. If a submission has failed, a Retry submissions button appears so you can send it again.
