Run fuel station payroll in Octyn: mark attendance by exception, give and recover advances, finalize the month and payslips.

Video **2 min** Updated **14 October 2026** For **Owner, manager or accountant** Tutorial **32 of 39**

## 01 Attendance

Marked by exception: absences, half days and leave.

1.  Go to **Staff & payroll → Attendance** and mark only the exceptions. Monthly staff are paid in full unless marked; daily-wage staff are paid for the shifts they actually worked.

## 02 An advance

Money given now, recovered from pay.

1.  Open **Advances**, pick the staff member and enter the amount.
2.  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.

1.  Open **Payroll run** for the outlet and month. If it says there is no run for the month yet, choose **Open the run**. Opening a run commits nothing; it gives you somewhere to work.
2.  Choose **Compute** (or **Recompute** after a change). Days come from attendance and shifts worked, less any advance recovery.
3.  Check each person's days, gross, bonus, advance recovered and net, and the cash you need on payday.
4.  Choose **Finalize** and confirm. The salary cost posts, payslips are created, and the figures are fixed.
5.  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.

1.  Open a payslip to get a PDF with days, pay, recovery and net.
2.  One-off payments go under **Bonuses** and flow into the next run, or are paid at once.

**Done.** Attendance, advance, run, payout and payslips. [Open it in Octyn](https://app.octynerp.com/payroll/attendance).
