Processing a Pay Step 2: Reviewing the Take Home Pay

Modified on Thu, 3 Jul at 10:00 AM

You can view Step 1 here: Completing a Timesheet


Navigate to "Process a Pay", then select "Take Home Pay". You can also access this page from any timesheet by selecting "Take Home Pay".


The "Take Home Pay" page displays what each employee will receive for the current pay period, along with a detailed breakdown of how the final amount is calculated.


At the top, "Gross Earnings" includes any taxable allowances (regular/irregular) or deductions (regular/irregular), if applicable. This total is used by Crystal Payroll to calculate PAYE.


Below, Crystal Payroll displays any additional variances such as "Tax Arrears", "KiwiSaver", and "Payroll Giving".


Information icons (i) appear next to some figures, allowing you to view a more detailed breakdown. If needed, you can adjust certain amounts, such as PAYE, if you disagree with the calculated value.


Once you have verified that all employee payments are correct, you can approve them by ticking the "Approved" checkbox in the upper blue panel. Alternatively, you can select "Approve All" in the lower white panel to approve the take-home pay for all employees.



Once approved, you can choose to preview an individual employee’s payslip or, if all employees' payments have been approved, select "Payslip for All Employees" from the dropdown menu.


Click "Print" to preview or print payslips for all employees, or select "Email & Export" to send payslips directly to each employee.


At this point, your pay run is effectively complete. The final step is to pay your employees the amounts shown under "Take Home Pay".
