8.12.3 United States Payroll Procedure
Confirm the tenant's country variables in Payroll Setup. Make sure all HR source records are complete, especially hours, recurring items, and bank data. Open Payroll > Pre-Payroll and run Check Integrity. Review blockers carefully because employee setup differences can change net pay materially. Run the period and review the run details sheet. Use Generate Payroll Register and the relevant export actions in Post Payroll for review and handoff.
PLATFORM WARNING: For United States payroll, do not rely only on the employee count. A small master-data error in contract setup, recurring deductions, or hours can materially change withholding outcomes across multiple authorities. Recheck the run details and exports before release.
STRATEGIC TIP: Before approving a United States run, review employees crossing the Social Security wage base or Additional Medicare threshold. Those boundary cases are where bonus runs and mid-year contract changes most often create avoidable correction work.
