- Open Advances, pick the staff member and enter the amount.
- Choose Give advance.It leaves the cash book now and is recovered in the payroll run.
03 The payroll run
One run per outlet per month: compute, correct, finalize, pay.

- Check each person's days, gross, bonus, advance recovered and net, and the cash you need on payday.
- Choose Finalize and confirm.The salary cost posts, payslips are created, and the figures are fixed.
- Choose Record the payout and confirm when the cash is handed over.The cash book goes down and the run is marked paid.
04 Payslips
One per person, generated when opened.
- Open a payslip to get a PDF with days, pay, recovery and net.
- One-off payments go under Bonuses and flow into the next run, or are paid at once.
