Automated Zellis Payroll Reconciliation
Every payday morning, WebRun opens Zellis, compares this pay period's headcount and gross pay totals against the last run, saves a reconciliation file listing every variance to Google Drive, and posts a discrepancy summary to Slack before the run is submitted.
How do I catch payroll discrepancies in Zellis before submitting a run?
WebRun compares each Zellis payroll run against the last one every payday morning, flags any employee with an unexplained pay change, and saves a reconciliation file to Google Drive with a discrepancy summary posted to Slack. It never changes pay or submits a run. A payroll admin reviews every flagged variance in Zellis before approving it.
- Every pay run is checked for variances before it's submitted
- Unexplained pay changes are flagged, not silently approved
- Payroll gets a discrepancy summary before the deadline, not after
