C.  Leave processing:

1. After all timesheets for the period have been entered and verified, leave can be computed and posted.
2. Compute leave, post leave journal, and print accrued leave reports, but do not close the current leave period.(Leave period should be closed after paychecks are printed.)

D.  Payroll processing:

1. Compute payroll.
2. Print payroll edit.
3. Review payroll edit, checking the following:

• Review the total page of the Payroll Edit Report. 
• Compare earnings amount to labor amount.
• If there are any differences, they are most likely to be related to rate changes, overtime, auto-adjusted timesheets, or pay for salaried employees when they worked less than a full pay period.
• If the timesheet or labor distribution is incorrect, enter correcting timesheets. Post labor distribution.
• If there is an error in the earnings amount you can Edit the Payroll in Maintain Payroll Edit. Hit recalculate if you want taxes to be recalculated.
