Automated OnPay Payroll Run Reminders

Every Monday, WebRun opens OnPay, checks the upcoming payroll run cutoff and each employee's hours and wages, exports the summary to Google Sheets, and emails you a reminder to review and approve the run before it processes.

In short

How do I get reminded to review OnPay payroll before it runs?

WebRun checks OnPay every Monday for the upcoming payroll run cutoff, exports each employee's hours and gross wages to a Google Sheet, and emails you a reminder with anything flagged for a second look. It never submits the run itself, so you always review and approve the final numbers in OnPay before payday.

  • Payroll gets reviewed before every cutoff, not after
  • Hours and wage flags surface before you approve the run
  • A dated wage summary builds up in Google Sheets

Questions, answered

Does WebRun submit the payroll run?

No. WebRun only prepares the wage summary and reminds you before the cutoff. Approving and submitting the run always happens in OnPay, by a human.

What counts as a flagged employee?

Missing hours for the period, or a gross wage change large enough that it's worth a second look before you approve the run.

Does it change anyone's pay?

No, it only reads hours and wages already entered in OnPay. It never edits pay rates or hours.
