Workspace Payroll automation controls whether enabled pay schedules can create automatic drafts while Paydae is closed. Only the workspace owner can change this setting; other permitted users can inspect its availability. Each schedule still needs its own saved automatic draft policy.

Steps

  1. Open workspace execution settings

    From the schedule’s Next draft preview, select Workspace execution settings to open Payroll automation. Review Execution availability, Workspace task registration, and Scheduled check where shown.

  2. Save the execution choice

    Enable Allow automatic drafts while Paydae is closed and select Save setting. Turning it off limits automatic creation to times when Paydae is open. The setting controls draft creation; payroll review and finalisation remain separate actions.

  3. Verify availability

    Check that background execution is available and the workspace task is registered. Read Execution setup needs attention or any execution-status message. A saved preference is not proof of successful registration or execution; resolve the displayed cause and recheck the status.

  4. Check an actual cycle

    Keep the Windows account signed in and the computer on and awake for closed-app execution. After a due time, inspect the schedule’s run history to confirm the outcome and open the resulting draft.

If the computer was unavailable

Review missed cycles after execution becomes available. Automatic catch-up considers the newest due occurrence; older gaps need manual review. Do not infer that all historical periods were prepared from an enabled setting or a single successful attempt.
