Viewing or accessing payroll records is available on both the Aspire mobile and web app.
The payroll feature does not support automated recurring transfers. To process each new payroll cycle, relevant users will need to create a new payroll batch.
Payroll Dashboard
The Payroll dashboard is a one-stop interface for managing and tracking all payroll transfers associated with your account.
Here’s what you can do:
Create new payroll batch payments
Review and approve salary payments
Monitor payment statuses
Access payroll reports
Manage payroll permissions
Payroll status
The payroll dashboard allows you to filter payrolls by their status, making it easier to track and manage ongoing and past payroll activities. Below is a breakdown of each payroll status and what it represents:
Status | Description |
Draft | Payrolls that have been created but not yet submitted for approval or processing. |
Pending Approval | Payrolls that have been submitted and are awaiting approval from Admin or Finance users with transfer rights. |
Processing | Displayed the approved payroll where payment is being processed. |
Completed | Displayed the approved payroll where all payment entries are completed. |
Failed | Displayed the approved payroll where payment entries failed |
Payroll Reports
Your payroll dashboard provides a high-level summary of your payroll activity for the month.
Total Payroll Processed: This shows the total value of payroll transactions made during the selected month. The amount is displayed in your account’s default currency, based on your country of incorporation (e.g., businesses incorporated in Singapore will see amounts in SGD).
Number of Employees Paid: This indicates how many employees received payroll payments for the month. The system automatically calculates this based on the recipient accounts used.
To explore more details, simply click on the summary. You’ll be directed to the analytics page, where the data is filtered to include only transactions categorized as "Salary."
