payback.ie

This message may appear when you click the 'Pay' button:
Warning: You have skipped the previous pay period for <employee>. Continue?

Pay is generally calculated on a cumulative basis. This means that all previous periods should be processed before processing the current one. There are circumstances where you can ignore this message, such as if you've deliberately skipped a period because you wanted to pay zero, or at the beginning of the year.

If this message is appearing and you do not know why, click the 'History' tab in the Payroll screen. Here you will see all the periods that have been processed. The current (unprocessed) period will be in bold. Make sure that there are no gaps (eg, for monthly the months are Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr etc..., or for weekly, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc...)
