Intelligent Payroll delivers automated payroll on our all-in-one platform, letting you manage your payroll end-to-end in just one place. Pay run processing with Intelligent Payroll has two main parts: reviewing your payroll inputs and approving your processed pay run.

In this article, we will look at the first part. It involves reviewing the inputs that Intelligent Payroll fetched and uploading amendments when needed. Then, you can submit the pay run for processing.

Will Employment Hero contact me regarding my pay runs?

Employment Hero may contact you if Intelligent Payroll detects any discrepancies or anomalies in your pay run.

For example, let us say you usually give a $100 bonus to employee Jane. If you mistakenly put it as $1,000, you may receive an inquiry.

You will get message notifications on Employment Hero Work, the platform, and your email.
