In short

How do I catch payroll errors in Deskera before running payroll?

WebRun checks Deskera Payroll two days before every pay run, looking for missing hours, unapproved leave, and new hires without bank details on file. It saves a dated checklist to Google Drive and posts you a Slack summary of what to fix, so payroll mistakes get caught before you click run, not after.

  • Payroll issues get caught two days early instead of after pay day
  • Every pay run gets a saved, dated readiness record in Drive
  • No pay run goes out with missing hours or bank details unnoticed

Questions, answered

Does it run payroll for me?

No. WebRun only checks readiness and reports issues. Clicking run in Deskera Payroll is always a decision you make yourself.

What counts as an issue?

Missing timesheet hours, leave that has not been approved, and new hires without bank details on file, the same things that usually cause a payroll correction.

What if everything looks fine?

You still get a Slack message, just a short one confirming the run is clear so you are not left guessing.

Put this on autopilot.
