What Your Bookkeeper Needs Before Each Payroll

Complete, approved information helps make payroll preparation more efficient.

Before each payroll, provide employee hours approved by the employer, the applicable pay period, and any authorized changes. Depending on your business, this may include new hires, terminations, pay-rate changes, bonuses, commissions, tips, reimbursements, or time-off information.

Missing punches and incomplete timesheets should be resolved by the employer before submission. Send sensitive employee information through an agreed secure process.

An established cutoff date gives everyone time to review questions before payroll is processed. Clear responsibilities between the employer, bookkeeper, and payroll provider also help prevent missed or duplicated tasks.

KKeeping Up Business helps organize approved hours and payroll information for each pay period.
