THE SHORT ANSWER
Reliable payroll depends on current staff and salary records, verified attendance and leave inputs, authorised adjustments and a repeatable monthly review. Reconcile advances and recoveries carefully, obtain the approvals required by institute policy and retain payslips and history securely. Confirm statutory calculations and filings separately; Campus does not automate statutory filing or compliance submissions.
01 / DEFINE THE STRUCTURE
Make salary components and their meaning explicit.
Before processing a month, agree the salary structure and which components represent earnings, deductions or other adjustments. Use consistent names and document who approves changes. A clear structure helps payroll staff explain a payslip and reduces the chance that a one-time payment becomes a recurring component by accident.
Keep the salary profile current and restrict access to authorised people. Separate the person who prepares payroll from any reviewer required by institute practice. If a staff member moves between roles or centres, confirm the applicable terms and effective date before updating the record.
02 / ATTENDANCE & LEAVE INPUTS
Verify source records before they affect a monthly calculation.
Attendance and leave may inform payroll under the institute’s policy, but the inputs need a clear cut-off and responsible owner. Reconcile missing or corrected entries before processing and make sure an approved leave record is not treated as an absence. Staff should have an appropriate route to question an input.
Confirm exactly how the product links attendance or leave to payroll and what statuses or dates are used. Avoid assuming every absence changes salary or that the software understands the institute’s employment terms. Keep the governing policy and authorised decision available to the payroll reviewer.
03 / ADJUSTMENTS & ADVANCES
Keep one-time changes traceable and distinguish recovery from deduction.
Adjustments, advances and recoveries can change the amount due for a month and the employee’s remaining balance. Record the reason, amount, effective period and authorisation according to institute policy. Separate a recovery from a standard deduction component so staff can explain how the net amount was reached.
Check that an advance has not been recovered twice and that any revised arrangement is approved. If a value changes after payroll review, retain the decision context and recalculate the affected record before payslips are issued. Do not use an unexplained balancing figure to force totals to match.
04 / MONTHLY RUN & APPROVAL
Use a repeatable checklist before recording salary payments.
A monthly run can begin with the active staff list, current salary structures, attendance and leave inputs, approved adjustments and advances. Review unusual values and compare the resulting totals with the prior period only after accounting for known changes. Assign a reviewer to check exceptions and confirm the payroll is ready under the institute’s process.
If approvals are configured, identify who prepares, reviews and authorises the run. Salary payment recording is a separate step from calculation; confirm which bank or payment activities remain outside the product. Keep access tightly controlled because payroll exports and payslips contain sensitive personal information.
05 / PAYSLIPS, REPORTS & COMPLIANCE
Preserve employee records and define the boundary of payroll software.
Payslips should be checked against the approved salary components, attendance inputs and adjustments before release. Use the correct employee and pay period, restrict distribution to the intended recipient and keep a record according to the institute’s retention policy. Payroll reports can support review if users understand what they include.
Payroll processing is not the same as statutory filing or legal compliance. Campus does not automate statutory filing/compliance submissions. The institute must verify applicable obligations, calculations, deadlines and filings with qualified professionals and authoritative sources. Do not rely on a payroll report as evidence that an external submission has been made.
06 / DEMONSTRATION & REVIEW
Test one staff member and one exception before relying on a run.
In a product review, follow a fictional staff profile through salary structure, attendance/leave input, an approved adjustment, an advance recovery, payroll approval, payslip and history. Include a corrected attendance value and ask how the change affects a completed run. Verify reporting and payment-recording boundaries.
CodePex Campus declares salary structures, monthly payroll, attendance/leave-linked inputs, adjustments, advances/recoveries, processing runs, approval, salary payment recording, payslips, history and payroll reports. Statutory filing/compliance automation is not supported. Confirm exact settings, calculations, permissions and integrations directly.
A FIELD GUIDE FOR YOUR TEAM
A monthly payroll control sequence
Keep employee inputs, calculation review, approval and payment evidence distinct so that the final amount can be explained.
| Lens | Question to ask | What to record |
|---|---|---|
| Prepare | Are active staff and salary structures current? | Approved profiles and effective changes. |
| Validate inputs | Are attendance, leave and adjustments verified? | Reconciled records and authorised exceptions. |
| Process | Are advances and recoveries represented correctly? | Traceable calculations and balances. |
| Approve & release | Who reviewed the run and payslips? | Approval record and recipient checks. |
| Close | What payment and external compliance steps remain? | Payment record and separately verified filings. |
