Overview
Why it matters: Creating payslips one by one does not scale. The generation wizard creates all (or selected) employees’ payslips for a month in one action, while skipping duplicates so you do not silently overwrite or double-pay a period.
What this covers: You open the wizard from the payslip flow, optionally restrict to certain employees, choose month and year, then generate. New payslips appear in draft for calculation and review; existing payslips for the same employee and period are left unchanged.
Run this after timesheets and attendance are stable for the period—see Payslip Lifecycle & Approval for what happens next.
How It Works
Select employees (or leave blank for all), choose month and year, then run the wizard. You’ll get a list of newly created payslips to review.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Open the Payslip Wizard.
- (Optional) Select one or more employees.
- Choose Month and Year.
- Click Generate. The system prevents duplicates for the same employee and period.

Tips

Common Mistakes
