Review pre-run checks before you approve
The checks that catch missing bank accounts, zero net pay and unusual swings, before money moves.
When you open **Run payroll**, the **Pre-run checks** card compares the upcoming run against your data and lists anything that looks off, each with a severity flag: an employee with no active bank account, a zero net pay, or a large jump versus last month.
These checks are advisory: the run will still compute, but they're your early warning. Resolve high-severity items (especially missing bank accounts, which can't be paid) before you approve.
After computing, also open the **variance report** to confirm every change between this run and the last is intended.
