Paying, printing and hiding columns on Pay/Print Salary

Where a calculated month is paid, printed, unpaid or deleted, and how to show or hide columns on the salary grid.

Where to find it

HRM › Pay/Print Salary (Management › HRM › General). Nothing appears until the month has been calculated on HRM › Calculate/Generate Salaries.

Hiding columns

The grid is wide. Click the cog next to Excel / PDF / Search to open Pay/Print Salary Grid Settings. Untick a column to hide it, tick it to show it, or use the arrows to change the order, then press Update Grid Setting. The choice is saved for your login. Reset To Default brings every column back.

The row number and the tick boxes cannot be hidden, so you can always select people to pay. Excel and PDF export only the columns currently shown.

Paying

Choose a Paid Date, a credit account (where the money comes from) and a debit account (the payroll expense). Tick the rows, then Pay Selected Salaries. Both accounts are required because paying writes the finance entry at the same time.

A staff member being paid in instalments has a Partial Pay button until the salary is fully paid.

Undoing and deleting

Unpay reverses the finance entry that payment created. That is the correct way to undo a wrong payment. A salary can only be deleted while it is unpaid — unpay first if it is paid or partly paid.

Printing

Four printouts: Salary Slip, Salary Signature, Salary Report, and Bank Salary Sheet (needs a cheque number). The Salary Report preview opens in its own tab with switches to hide columns you do not want on the printout — that is separate from the grid cog on this page.

Left staff

A staff member whose Status is not Active is not notified when you pay, even if their salary row is still on this grid. Mark them Left on HRM › Manage Employees — a leaving date alone is not enough.
