Payroll Statuses

Once payroll is opened in BerniePortal, each run is stored in the “History” tab with a status indicator that tracks the payroll's progress through the processing workflow.

To access: 
  1. Log in to BerniePortal as the Global Administrator or a Payroll Feature Admin
  2. Select the “Payroll” tab in the top navigation menu
  3. Select the “History” tab in the secondary navigation menu 

To view payroll status:
  1. Use the “Subgroup” drop-down menu to select the appropriate subgroup
  2. Review payroll runs listed chronologically with current status indicators

Status definitions: 
  1. OPEN 
    1. Payroll has been initiated but not submitted for processing
    2. Can be resumed and edited by selecting the pay period
    3. All changes remain editable until submission 
  2. PROCESSING 
    1. Payroll has been submitted and is currently being processed
    2. No modifications can be made during this stage
    3. Processing time varies based on payroll complexity
  3. COMPLETE 
    1. Payroll processing has finished successfully
    2. Payments and records are finalized
    3. Status serves as confirmation of successful completion
Note: Payroll runs are sorted by date with the most recent entries displayed first, making it easy to track your latest processing activities.
