Tide Payroll

How do I run payroll?

Before you run a payroll, you need to set up a pay date for it and submit it. 

On Tide on the web, go to: Admin > Payroll Settings > Payroll > Pay Date > Update.

To change a pay date for the current period, head to: Admin > Payroll > Current pay period > Actions >  Change Pay Date from the drop-down Actions menu.

Select the new pay date and don’t forget to go to your payroll settings to update the schedule to the new date too. 

If you want to update the current month's payroll details, follow the steps above, but select Change your payday as a one-off from the Actions menu instead.

Once you’ve set everything up, wait until the pay date to run the payroll.

On the web, head to: Admin > Payroll > Review Payroll

If you’re navigating from the app, tap: Admin > Tide Payroll, and you’ll be redirected to the web login page. Then go through the same steps.

Double check that your payroll’s details are accurate and click on ‘Confirm and Submit’.

Payroll data is only submitted to HMRC once you confirm your monthly pay run and the pay date has arrived.

Important: 

Try to submit payroll a few days before each month’s pay date, because: 

  • Once you submit or the pay date has arrived, you can no longer edit that month’s payroll. If you need to make a correction, tap Support in the app.

  • Pay slips are emailed to employees immediately after payroll is processed, but if it’s not submitted on time, we won’t send out the pay slips.

If you want to send draft pay slips to your employees, go to: Admin > Payroll > select the current payroll run > Send Draft Pay slips

To see and download previous pay slips, head to: Admin > Payroll > View Team > Documents.
