Close Out Your Payroll

The Payroll report is used to automatically calculate and show businesses how much to pay their employees based on hourly pay, sales and commissions, and rent collected. If you have employees who work at multiple locations, you can run a single report instead of in batches or separately by location. After you've run the report, you can close out the payroll and mark it as Paid. All of your current and past payrolls can be viewed by running the Payroll History report.

Prerequisites: This feature is available for all Vagaro businesses. In the US, Vagaro Payroll is recommended if you want to pay your employees by direct deposit and withhold their income taxes.

Mark the Payroll Report as Paid

If you don't have Vagaro Payroll, you can mark Payroll as Paid. However, this action finalizes payroll for reporting purposes only, and you must pay your employees manually

  2. Select the filter_icon_vpro_2x.pngicon in the top-right corner, select the Payroll Closing Date using the __-_icon_vpro_2x.png icons, and then select the Service Provider(s) you want to review.

Close Out Payroll with Vagaro Payroll

When it is time to pay your employees, use the Payroll report screen to run and submit your payroll. Unless you have entered paystub information for all your current and terminated employees you are paying, you won't be able to pay them on the scheduled pay date and will be prompted to Upload Previous Paystubs. The amount of time it takes to run your payroll depends on the number of employees you have on your payroll.

You can submit or cancel a payroll up until the cut-off time at 4 PM PT (or 7 PM ET) the day before pay day. Any payroll marked as "Pending" and "Paid" can no longer be canceled. Because of the required processing time, a notification will appear if the funds will not be deposited to their bank accounts in time for their pay day.

You can also run an off-cycle payroll to pay employees between pay cycles, award a monetary bonus, or reimburse them for expenses.

Before running payroll, keep in mind:

  • Any employees who did not complete their payroll onboarding will not be paid during that pay cycle, and a popup will list the outstanding employees who will not receive a direct deposit for that payment. Select Cancel to complete their onboarding first, or select Run Payroll to proceed anyway.

  • If you have any pending employee PTO requests, a popup will notify you that you may be paying those employees less than what they are owed. To review those pending requests, select View Time Off Report, or select the checkbox and then Run Report to run your payroll anyway. You can also skip or exclude those employees from payroll.
