Payroll lock, freeze & corrections
Freeze a period so late attendance/leave edits can’t disturb an approved run, and unlock selectively.
Locking a period protects an approved run from last-minute data changes.
Lock a period
- 1From App → Payroll → Run payroll, lock the current period once data entry is complete.
- 2While locked, attendance and leave edits for that month no longer affect the run, so the figures you approved stay stable.
Selective corrections
- Need to fix one person? Selectively unlock that employee, make the correction, then re-lock — the rest of the run is untouched.
- Genuine reversals use reopen on the run itself, which is recorded in the audit log.
Tip: Lock after PROCESSED and before you send the bank file, so nothing shifts between approval and payment.
