          Running Payroll in Steelhead is extremely quick and easy. Start by approving employee hours.

          Approve Employee Hours

          1. Open the Timesheets dashboard from your Steelhead homepage.

          2. Before running Payroll, you must first approve employee hours.

          From the Timesheets landing page, click the Payroll Period dropdown.

          3. Select a Payroll Period.

          4. Click the dropdown next to a User's name to see more details.

          5. Click the pencil to edit the Timesheet segment for that User.

          6. Edit as desired, then click SAVE.

          7. You can Approve All employee hours with the click of one button:

          8. Or approve employee hours individually:

          9. Add or remove Users, add any necessary Comments, then click APPROVE.

          All employee hours that have been approved for a given pay period will then show up within Payroll.

          If any last edits are needed, we recommend closing the payroll window and entering the information where necessary. For example if employee hours were wrong, go back to Timesheets and enter correct employee hours. This way you have a better tracking history of why changes were made. You do have the option to also edit any amounts here in the Payroll window.

          1. Click Preview Payroll once you're done editing.

          2. You will have a short window of time after submitting the payroll where you will still be able to click Reopen Payroll and make further changes. Check controls this window, as they will be debiting funds from your account and distributing them to your employee accounts.
