How to Link an Employee to a Payroll Cycle

Step-by-step guide to linking a newly activated employee to a payroll cycle in Global Payroll.

Once a new employee has activated their Remote People account, you can link them to the correct payroll cycle yourself, directly from the Payroll module.

How to link an employee

  1. Go to the Payroll module

  2. Select the payroll you want to include the employee in

  3. Click Actions, then select Include Employees

  4. Choose which cycle type these employees should be added to: Regular (applied to the next payroll run) or Off-Cycle (applied during a non-regular payroll run)

  5. If Regular, select the specific payroll cycle from the dropdown, then click Next

  6. Choose the employee or employees you want to add to this payroll, then click Next

  7. Review the summary, payroll, cycle type, cycle name, and payroll run dates, then click Submit

A note on this step

We can still assist with this if needed, but it's a self-service step you're able to complete yourself. If you're unsure whether an employee has been fully set up for payroll, contact us as early as possible.
