Pick a few employees and preform a random check

It is important you check the employee year to date figures carefully, the payroll software works differently in the background and the upgrade tool will use the most common scenarios to transfer the data. Check the opening balances.

How to check

  • In Staffology Payroll, click on the Employees menu, select an employee in the list to open the employee details, and select More | Opening Balances to check the figures.

  • In IRIS Payroll Business / IRIS Bureau Payroll, go to Employee Details | To-Dates and Pay Elements tabs to view the year-to-date figures where required.

How to make changes

  • Contact support for advice.

We strongly recommend that you parallel run Staffology Payroll with IRIS Payroll Business / IRIS Bureau Payroll for at least one payroll period after the upgrade. If this is not possible, check the first period’s figures thoroughly.

You can't parallel run payrolls with pay dates on or after 6th April.

Next: Check Pay Codes have upgraded correctly, including Attachment of Earnings Orders.
