Close the month: pay periods & rollover
Run the pre-flight checks, then close the current period and open the next.
Once you've approved the run (and handled disbursement and remittances), open Payroll, Pay periods. A pre-flight check confirms the current period is approved and locked, run errors are resolved, recurring deductions roll forward, and the next period doesn't already exist.
When everything is ready, click Begin rollover. The current period closes for good and next month opens, ready for the next cycle. The action is audited.
