Payroll Settings

Payroll settings control how payroll runs for your organisation, including automation, approvals and the checks Workmax applies before pay is processed.

  2. Go to "My Account" and select "Company settings".
  3. In the "Payroll settings" section, click on the "Edit" button.
  4. Update your payroll settings, which include:
    • Payroll reference (the reference that appears on employees' bank statements)
    • Payment method (Automated or Manual)
    • Auto pilot (run payroll automatically)
    • Payroll approval (require approval before payroll is processed)
    • Minimum wage check
    • Pro-rata pay
    • Pension enrolment check (automatically assess employees for auto-enrolment)
