General
What is the Payroll screen on the Round dashboard?
Payroll shows all of your pay runs grouped by month, letting you review, approve, and track employee payments in one place.
How do I start a new payroll run?
Click Upload Payroll at the top of the Payroll screen to add a new run.
Pay Runs & Statuses
What do the statuses on a pay run mean?
Processing — the run has been submitted and payments are being made
Pending Approval — the run needs sign-off before payments can go out (see Approvals below)
How do I see the individual payments in a pay run?
Click View [x] payments underneath a pay run to expand it and see each employee payment, its date, payee, and status.
What statuses can an individual payment have?
Individual payments can show statuses such as Scheduled (queued to go out on a future date) or Cancelled.
Can I see more detail on an individual payment?
Yes — click View next to a payment to see its amount, reference, category, date, and the full sending (From) and receiving (To) account details, along with an audit trail showing when the payment was created and scheduled.
Can I cancel a scheduled payment?
Yes — open the individual payment and click Cancel while it's still in a Scheduled state.
Approvals
Why does a pay run say "Pending Approval"?
This means the run has matched an approval policy and needs to be signed off before it proceeds. Click Approve / View to review and approve it.
Who can approve a payroll run?
Approval policies for Payroll Payments are configured under Approvals in the left-hand navigation, and can require sign-off from specific people or a minimum number of approvers in a chosen group.
Bulk Payments
Does Round support paying multiple employees at once?
Yes — bulk payments are available to streamline pay runs, so a full payroll run can be processed together rather than payment-by-payment.
