Team & pay

Team salary and payroll runs

See the team's pay side by side, then save the month as a payroll run for your accountant. A run only records the figures; you log what you paid as an expense.

How-toBy default: Owner · Administrator · Human ResourcesWhere: INSIGHTS › Payroll › Team salaryChecked 12 Oct 2026Step 9 of 12 · The business side

Owners can change what each role may do.

Team salary shows everyone's hours, commission and payout for a period. A payroll run freezes those figures so you and your accountant have a copy that no longer moves.

Team salary on a phone: headcount, commission and payout for the month

Everyone's pay side by side; Run payroll saves it for your accountant.

Steps

Check the team's pay

  1. Step 1
  2. Step 2

    Under Period, tap Month and go to the month you are paying.

  3. Step 3

    Read each row: Hours, Net sales, Commission, Hourly ledger, Bonuses and Payout.

  4. Step 4

    Tap a name to open that person's day-by-day page.

Add a bonus or deduction

  1. Step 5

    On the person's page, tap Add adjustment.

  2. Step 6

    Choose Bonus (+) or Deduction (−) and type the amount.

  3. Step 7

    Under Settlement, pick Settled on payroll, or Already paid (post to ledger) if the money has already changed hands.

    • For a bonus already handed over, pick the account it came out of; for a deduction already paid back, the one it went into.
  4. Step 8

    Set the Effective date: it decides which month it counts in.

  5. Step 9

    Tap Save bonus or Save deduction.

Save a payroll run

    Tap Preview run and check the lines.

  4. Step 13

    Type an Adjustment and a reason on any line that needs correcting.

  5. Step 14

    Add Notes (optional) for your accountant, then tap Save snapshot.

What happens next

  • The run appears in INSIGHTS › Payroll › Payroll history as a frozen copy. Later refunds or pay changes don't alter it.
  • Nobody is paid, and the run doesn't touch your accounts or net profit.
  • Pay your staff as usual, then log what you actually paid, tax included, as an expense (Record an expense (including wages you paid)).
  • A bonus marked Already paid (post to ledger) leaves the account you picked when you save it, and the run takes it off that person's payout so it isn't paid twice. A deduction marked so is money they paid back: it goes into that account, and their payout doesn't take it off again.

Inside a run

Open a run from Payroll history to see each person's line and the Adjustments breakdown.

Under Final, a line names what its payout leaves out because it was settled at the time: bonuses already paid, and deductions already paid back. They are settled: don't apply them again on the payslip.

You can change line adjustments and Notes, then tap Save changes. Saved total and Live total show whether your edits are saved.

Delete removes a run for good.

Questions

Does saving a run pay anyone or post to my accounts?
No. It is a record for your accountant. Log the real payment as an expense (Record an expense (including wages you paid)).
How do I record a cash advance?
In two steps. Log the cash you hand over as an expense, paid from the account it left (Record an expense (including wages you paid)). Then add a Deduction (−) for the same amount, Settled on payroll: payday pays only the rest. Don't mark it Already paid (post to ledger): a bonus marked so is left out of the payout, and a deduction marked so is money paid back.
A refund came in after I saved the run.
The saved run keeps its figures. The refund takes commission back on the day it is made, so it shows in that month's figures.
How do I get a spreadsheet?
Tap Export CSV on Team salary. By default only the owner and administrators can export pay.
Why can't a manager run payroll?
Running payroll and opening other people's salary pages are, by default, for the owner, administrators and Human Resources. The owner can change that (What each role can do).

Good to know

  • Save the run after the month has closed and every check-in is fixed; a run doesn't update later.
