Once you've completed this task, click Next to print or email pay slips.

If you want, you can perform these tasks later using the relevant command centre function.

  2. In the Pay From Account field, select the bank account from which you make electronic payments.

    Preparing multiple electronic payment files

    When you save the electronic payment file, it is given a default name and is formatted as an .ABA file. If you prepare multiple electronic payment files, you should rename each file (keeping the .ABA file extension), so that you do not overwrite an unprocessed file.

  9. Choose where you want to save the electronic payment file and click Save. The Prepare Electronic Payments window reappears.

  10. Click Close. The Process Payroll window reappears.

You can now send the bank file to your bank for processing (for example, by using online banking software provided by your bank). Contact your bank for more information on how to send electronic payment files for processing.
