Payroll leave-balance review before processing
Review leave inputs against the approved record, period dates, and owner decision before handoff.
Payroll handoff readiness check
Use this table before a provider or Filipino payroll support worker receives access.
| Work area | Ready to hand off when | Owner check |
|---|---|---|
| Source | The leave periods record has an approved source and effective date. | The owner confirms the source is authoritative. |
| Review | Required fields, requester, and cycle impact are recorded. | The owner resolves incomplete or conflicting information. |
| Decision | The next action and accountable person are visible. | An authorized owner approves sensitive action. |
| Close | The outcome, date, and follow-up evidence are retained. | The owner confirms the item is closed. |
Start with leave periods
Match leave dates to the pay period and approved leave record.
Write the requested action, source, effective date, and pay-cycle impact in one record. Unresolved balance differences should stop the handoff until the owner decides how to proceed.
Build a review lane
The preparation step for leave periods can collect records, check required fields, and flag conflicts. It should not decide disputed pay, tax treatment, banking, deductions, or final payroll approval.
Use a named owner and backup, then record when the request was sent and when a decision is due.
- Link to the approved source.
- Record the requester and effective date.
- Flag sensitive or conflicting fields.
- Route the decision to the authorized owner.
Check the pay-cycle consequence
Review leave periods against the cutoff and the relevant pay period. If the timing is unclear, leave the item open and ask the owner which cycle should receive it.
A short status note should say what is complete, what is blocked, and what the next safe action is.
Close with evidence
Before closing the leave periods item, compare the result with its source and record the owner decision. Do not delete the original request when a correction or clarification was needed.
After the cycle, note whether the lane produced repeat questions or late work and update the checklist for the next review.
