Generate payslips
Create, inspect, and export employee PDF payslips for a selected payroll run.
Before you begin4 sections
Use Documents → Payslips to generate employee PDFs from a finalised payroll run. Generation records the documents in the local workspace; saving a PDF is a separate action.
Before you begin
Confirm the active organisation, select the intended Payroll run, and check that it is finalised. The run selector can show All Payruns for browsing, but Generate payslips needs a selected finalised run. Configure the organisation’s payslip branding before generation if a logo or watermark is required.
Steps
- Select the finalised run
Open Payslips and choose the run in Payroll run. Use employee search to find a particular person.
- Generate payslips
Select Generate payslips and wait for the result. The action creates documents from the finalised run; it does not recalculate payroll.
- Review employee rows
Refresh if needed. Check for Document Ready, Generation Failed, or Not generated. Open Details or Preview to inspect a ready payslip and confirm its period, gross pay, and net pay.
- Save the needed copies
Use the row’s Save action for an individual PDF. Use Select Multiple to choose generated payslips and Save ZIP to local directory when you need a group of files.
Generated versus saved
A ready payslip can show Not saved locally until you save a copy. Saved locally describes the local file action, not whether payroll was paid or a document was sent. Use Local save status to filter these states. Review the destination and Local Export Log after saving.
Common problems
Generate payslips is unavailable
select a finalised run rather than All Payruns.
A row says Generation Failed or Not generated
follow Payslip not generated.
The saved PDF is missing
check the selected destination and the save result; generation and saving are separate.
The source document has no recorded hash
follow Generated document hash missing before selecting it for a proof package.
