Once a month, eighty families get paid. This is the screen where that happens. Four numbers. How many months, how many open, how much has gone out. "Ready to pay" is the one that keeps you up. Every month you have ever run, in one list. Two countries means two runs a month. Always. A run is one month, in one country's rules. Three states. A run only ever moves forward. Draft, you can still change it. Finalized, locked. Paid, signed. Dirhams on one line. Rials on the other. Two decimals. Three. The currency decides, not us. Let's build one from nothing.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly is a payroll run?
One month, in one country's rules. A company operating in two countries therefore has two runs a month, always.
What are the three states of a payroll run?
Draft — still editable; finalized — locked; paid — signed. A run only ever moves forward, never back.
How are two currencies shown side by side?
Each run keeps its own currency and its own precision — dirhams on one line to two decimals, rials on the other to three. The currency decides, not a setting.
