Payrun Failsafes

The Payrun function in payroll contains several failsafes that protect against the duplication or changing of payrun information:

Payrun Locking

Payrun locking is designed for those companies who operate payroll with multiple users. Payrun locking prevents two users editing an employee in the same payrun at the same time. Locking manifests itself in several different ways:

Adding employees to the payrun: While an employee is being edited in the payrun, other users will not be able to see that employee in the employee pool.

Removing employees from the pay: A user cannot remove an employee from the payrun if they are being edited by another user. The system will produce an error stating that the employee is currently locked.

Updating the payrun: If two users edit the same employee in the payrun, when one user tries to update the payrun will return a duplicate employee error message. One user must remove their employee before the payrun can be updated.
