What Bulk Payments Do
Bulk Payments create payments for multiple selected employees at the same time. This is useful when payroll has been reviewed and several employees are ready to be paid for the same period.
When To Use Bulk Payments
Use Bulk Payments when:
- A full department or company payroll is ready.
- Draft Review has been completed.
- Employee rows have been checked.
- Payroll items and timesheets are finalized.
- The selected employees are unpaid for the period.
Basic Steps
- Open Make Payment V2.
- Select the correct payment period.
- Search payroll.
- Review the employee list and totals.
- Select the employees to pay.
- Confirm selected employees are unpaid.
- Click the bulk payment action.
- Wait for the process to complete.
- Confirm paid statuses are updated.
- Print, email, export, or generate bank files as needed.
Practical Example
A company pays all employees every two weeks. Payroll reviews the January 1 to January 15 payroll, confirms all corrections are complete, selects all unpaid employees, and creates bulk payments. After the payments are created, payroll exports the bank file and emails payslips.
What Happens To Already-Paid Employees
Make Payment V2 should prevent or skip employees who are already paid, depending on the workflow and action. Always review the status column before bulk payment.
Common Mistakes
- Selecting employees from the wrong filtered list.
- Paying before payroll review is complete.
- Forgetting to exclude employees with unresolved issues.
- Assuming all selected employees are unpaid.
- Not confirming totals before payment.
