Continuous Payroll Processing: Common Tasks and Key Changes
This article highlights selected areas of the new payroll experience. Each section includes screenshots of the previous and new experiences, along with a brief explanation of the differences to help you navigate the updated process.
How do I initiate payroll, add new pay statements, or import payroll data?
Initiating payroll, adding new pay statements, and importing payroll data are now all kept in the same location, using the button to Import / add pay statements on the top right of the screen.
This pop-up includes three tabs.
- Add pay statement: This tab will allow you to add pay statements for all employees on the pay period, or even one employee at a time, using the different checkboxes.
- Import: This tab will allow you to import your regular payroll data import file
- Void pay statement: This tab will allow you to void multiple pay statements at once for the same employee.

Where did "Process Timesheets" go?
Manual timesheet processing is no longer required. The system continuously processes timesheets automatically behind the scenes. If you need to manually reprocess timesheets, you can do so using the button on the top right.

Do I still need to manually sync time to payroll?
Usually, no. Time now syncs automatically as part of Continuous Payroll Processing. If you make last-minute edits and want those changes reflected immediately, you can still manually re-sync time using the Sync Time button on the top right.

What changed in Payroll Processing?
The experience has shifted from a checklist workflow to a central workspace. Instead of moving through a series of sequential steps, most payroll activities are now managed from the Pay Statements page. Common payroll actions are accessible through buttons in the upper-right corner of the screen, and all pay statements are available directly from the central workspace.
