Payroll runs in BYTE: draft, review, execute and reverse
Prepare the monthly run as a draft and review its totals before you execute it. Once a run is executed, its payslips are fixed. A mistake is corrected by reversing the run, not by editing it.
Last updated: 13 November 2026
What it covers
- A monthly run that starts from the employee records and the attendance for the month.
- A review of the totals and of each employee's pay before the run is executed.
- Payslips that are fixed once the run is posted.
- A recorded reversal when a run was wrong, instead of an edit.
- One payroll journal, split by branch.
- Payslips in Arabic, English or both, as your company chooses.
How it works
- Start the month run as a draft. The draft uses the employee records and the attendance for the month.
- Review the totals and each employee's pay, and correct the inputs if needed.
- Execute the run. The payslips are fixed, and the payroll journal is posted, split by branch.
- If a run was wrong, reverse it, and run the month again.
