Pay finalisation calendars for administrative staff
Pay finalisation calendars may be used by employees responsible for updating details on the payroll. These calendars show the pay finalisation dates for each pay period (Friday before pay day).
All payroll transactions should be completed well before pay finalisation. To avoid possible errors and overpayments to employees, do not leave transactions for completion on the day of pay finalisation. Changes affecting a pay period should be processed on the payroll as soon as possible to allow sufficient time to correct any errors prior to pay finalisation. These calendars include a recommended day for transactions to be completed by allowing sufficient time to make further amendments or corrections before the pay is finalised for the fortnight.
However, where an urgent entry is required on pay finalisation, the transactions must be completed no later than 6:00pm to be effective for that pay.
