Pay Period Close

Skip Ahead To

The final step that an administrator must take in TimeStar at the end of every pay period is to formally end the pay period. This action should not be taken until all of the timesheet approvals have been completed, payroll has been processed, and checks have been cut. Ending the pay period commits all of the timesheet and accrual information into history and advances the dates of the current pay period forward.

Steps for Ending the Pay Period(s)

To end the current pay period(s) in the TimeStar system, follow the steps below:

1. In the Main Navigation menu, open the End of Period Procedures folder.

2. Click on the Pay Period Close page.

The Pay Period Close page opens.

3. Select the appropriate pay period to end using the Select Pay Period dropdown. Verify that the Period to End and Next Period fields are accurate. *Payroll History and *Accruals History dropdowns should be set to “Yes”.

4. Click the End Period button.

If any missing punches or outstanding requests exist, an error will appear and the pay period will not be ended. These errors must be resolved prior to completing the end-of-period processing.

A confirmation will appear if the pay period end was successful.  Click OK.
