Summary

Validate Pay For Payday allows you to validate Payday Filing Employment Information data.

The Validate Pay For Payday run command is accessible from the Payroll folder on the PayGlobal tree as well as via the Global List (ALT + G).

Which pays can be validated?

It is only possible to validate pays which have been either fully processed or closed.

Why should the pay being validated?

Validate Pay For Payday focuses on validating financial amounts within the Employment Information return which are not easily corrected if the return is rejected by the IR after the pay has been closed.

When should the pay be validated?

PayGlobal recommends that all pays are validated for Payday before the pay is closed so that, when necessary, correction can be easily made to financial amounts.

Errors and Solutions

If there are errors found and the pay is still in a "processed" state then you can go back to the effected employees and make the neccessary corrections before closing and sending your Payday data to IRD.

If there are errors found and the pay is in a "closed" state then using the Rollback pay function may be an option if no subsequent pays for the same pay period have been closed. Otherwise the correction may need to be made manually through MyIRD or in the pay.
