Multiple locations
Keep each location’s approved people, pay period and sending responsibility clear.
Different stores or factories may use different headers, calculation inputs and delivery dates. Complete local checks and authorized approval before handing final results to the sender. The delivery stage does not automatically replace store calculation or regional approval.
Test each materially different sheet and representative employees at the locations involved. Identify repeated recipients and exceptions before separate sends. Retain records that can be traced to the relevant location and approved period.
A sensible starting sequence
- Identify the actual recipient, approved period and people responsible for preparation and sending.
- Test the conditions described above with a small representative group.
- Separate successful actions from requirements that remain unverified.
- Check a usable record and decide whether to expand, retest or retain the existing route.
Answers for this situation
- Can we use our existing Excel payroll spreadsheet? — Use your approved Excel payroll file, then verify employee fields and individual previews before sending.
- Can payslips be scheduled for a later date? — You can prepare a payslip batch in advance and verify its scheduled delivery settings before release.
- Can employee acknowledgment replace payroll approval? — No.

Steps and checklists
- Prepare an approved Excel payroll file for delivery — Prepare a small approved-file sample with clear employee rows, identifiers and recipient information before testing personal payslip delivery.
- Send payslips now or schedule delivery — Use approved, previewed data and verify the intended receipt date before sending immediately or scheduling a later batch.
- Excel and recipient preflight checklist — Check approved payroll structure, employee addresses and personal previews before sending individual payslips.
- First-send and employee experience checklist — Test sender preparation, independent employee access, acknowledgment and usable records before a first live payslip batch.
