Question on: TriNet
[Process of finalizing a payroll.](/discussions/process-of-finalizing-a-payroll)

What are the steps involved in finalizing and submitting a payroll, in terms of reviewing and making corrections before the payroll is finalized? These steps should be on an online training video, or the representative should go through a step-by-step training. It was a trial-by-error learning process, with lots of errors on my side as well as the payroll team.

Before submitting a payroll. I recommend you print the grid as entered... and ensure you have the totals saved. We do this via excel. The next step is to hit preview. At this point you might want to say a little prayer that it doesn't get stuck for the next several hours. When it does get caught in the preview process, set a timer so you can call them in 1 hour and let them know it is stuck. Once it unsticks and the preview completes. Download again (we do this as a PDF) and compare against your first totals. Assuming everything is still looking correct, you can finalize and submit. At this point TriNet will process payroll and make some random changes, It might be double paying an employee or not paying an employee, you never know. However, if you have set up your payroll to require review before final processing (I recommend this), you will have your payroll sent to you with a one hour time frame to review. This might work if you only have a few employees. For us, with over 100 employee, now the fun begins. You are playing beat the clock in a variation of Where's Waldo. This is your ONLY chance to catch the errors before the payroll is submitted. If you miss your one hour time window and you don't catch the mistakes.. it gets processed and you have to work on fixing it retroactively. This fix can require all sorts of forms or other hoops to jump through including having your case closed before it was resolved, waiting on hold for 20 minutes to over an hour, and many other shenanigans. In short, this is probably the worst payroll experience I have ever had with any company. 

Answered: Carmen Strokofski on November 16, 2021

Once you have completed the payroll entry sheet you can view the final payroll before it is processed. Your rep can also help with this. Easy process.

Answered: Karen Cabral on September 27, 2019

Once I have entered and saved our payroll in TriNet, I send an email to our in-house finance support team who then reviews the payroll and sends an email to our TriNet Client Success Specialist to let her know that payroll has been approved for processing. After entering the payroll information in the payroll grid, I simply save it. TriNet is the one who submits the payroll. I hope this helps.

Answered: Christine Pelletier on December 2, 2019

After entering and saving your payroll, you will have a chance to preview and print reports to make sure everything is correct. When you’re sure it’s ready, you finalize payroll and you’re done! Easy breezy! Your TriNet payroll contact will be very helpful if you have any questions or problems.
