Automated PrimePay Payroll Approval Handoff

Each pay cycle, WebRun opens PrimePay, checks the pre-submission checklist including hours, new hires, and pay changes, logs each item to Airtable, and hands the approver a Notion summary to review and sign off before the run submits.

In short

How do I get a payroll approval summary before submitting PrimePay?

WebRun checks PrimePay's pre-submission payroll checklist every cycle, logs hours, new hires, and pay changes to Airtable, and hands the approver a Notion summary with anything unusual flagged first. It never submits the run itself, so the final sign-off always stays with a human before payroll processes.

  • Approvers get a flagged summary instead of a raw checklist
  • Unusual pay changes get caught before submission
  • A logged checklist backs every payroll cycle

Questions, answered

Does WebRun submit the payroll run?

No. WebRun only prepares the checklist and the approval summary. Submitting the run always happens in PrimePay, by the approver.

What counts as a flagged item?

Any hours, new hire, or pay change that looks unusual compared to the prior cycle, so the approver sees it before signing off.

Does it notify employees about pay changes?

No, the summary is for your internal approver only. Any employee-facing pay communication is handled separately by your team.
