Payslips & payrollGuide 2 of 3

Run payroll (Admin)

Settings, generation and reports — in the right order

5 min read·Updated Oct 2026

1Configure the period first

Generation inherits every setting, so set them before the first run. Admin only — Payroll › Payroll.

  1. Open the Settings tab and confirm Default Currency.
  2. Set Pay period cutoffs and, if you use them, tick Enforce cutoff schedule for payslip generation — employees then see a pay cut-off group in My Info.
  3. Set Period start/end day, Pay on day and whether you pay in the Same month as period end or the Month after period end.
Bee’s tipChanging the cutoff after a run confuses employees — change it between periods, not mid-run.

2Generate the payslips

The Generate tab produces every slip for one period in a single action.

  1. Open Generate Payslips and choose the Scheduled pay period (or set Pay period start/end manually).
  2. Confirm who is Prepared by.
  3. Click generate — or use “Generate for one employee” for a top-up run.
Bee’s tipDeduction types live in the <b>Deduction Types</b> tab (Name, Code, Type, Default value, Frequency, Active).

3Check the reports

Before you announce payday, sanity-check the numbers.

  1. Open the Reports tab: Payroll summary with Total Gross, Total Deductions and Total Net Pay.
  2. Compare “Payroll by period (Gross vs Net)” against last period — big swings mean a broken input.
  3. Use “Pay by employee” to answer individual questions without opening every slip.
