Payroll Payments Distribution

The Distribute Payroll Payments activity performs several tasks. It creates payments, archives the results and runs payroll register, generates reports, to include payslips, and runs payment register.

Payroll payments are typically a part of the payroll cycle flow or a QuickPay flow, or as a standalone process using the Submit a Process or Report task. You can view the task results on the View Person Process Results page.

Note: The Make External Payments process isn't a typical payroll cycle task. You submit this process as part of the QuickPay flow or as a standalone process in the Payment Distribution work area.

Sequence of Tasks

This shows the sequence of payment distribution tasks for a typical payroll cycle. Your flow may include additional or fewer tasks.

Note: Unless this process in your legislative data group doesn't use archived payroll data, the Archive Payroll Results runs before the Run Payroll Register and the Generate Payslips tasks.
