We are improving our pre-close checklist. What items do you require before marking a payroll cutoff as ready for approval?

Our must-haves are attendance exceptions, approved leave, loan deductions, taxable allowance changes and final headcount comparison.

Add a statutory contribution spot check. I like sampling new hires, separated employees and anyone with a rate change.

We include manager sign-off for late timesheet corrections so payroll does not become the only approval checkpoint.
