Automated PayFit Payroll Validation Reminders

Each pay cycle, WebRun opens PayFit, checks the upcoming payroll validation deadline, archives the last batch of payslips to Google Drive, and texts the payroll admin via Twilio with a reminder to review and validate before the cutoff.

In short

How do I get reminded before PayFit payroll validation closes?

WebRun checks PayFit each pay cycle for the upcoming validation deadline, archives the payslip batch summary to Google Drive for your records, and texts the payroll admin via Twilio two days before the cutoff with anything still pending. It never validates or closes the run itself, so the final review always stays with your team in PayFit.

  • Validation deadlines never get missed
  • A running payslip archive builds up in Drive automatically
  • Payroll admins get a text, not just an easy-to-miss email

Questions, answered

Does WebRun validate the payroll run?

No. WebRun only reminds the admin and archives a record. Validating and closing the run always happens in PayFit, by a human.

Does it text employees about payslips?

No, the text goes only to the internal payroll admin. Employees receive their payslips through PayFit as usual.

What gets archived to Drive?

A summary of the payslip batch for that pay period, kept alongside prior periods so you have a running audit trail.
