How to view and approve your payroll calendar

The payroll calendar is available to Remote Payroll customers and gives you a full-year view of your payroll schedule and key dates.

You'll review and approve your calendar during payroll implementation, at the beginning of each year, or when your payroll dates need to change.

How to open your payroll calendar

To access your calendar:

1. Go to Company settings → Payroll calendars
2. Under Payroll and payments, select Payroll calendars
3. Choose the legal entity you want to review
4. Select 🗓️ Calendar view

What's in your payroll calendar

Your calendar includes key payroll events, such as:

• Payroll cutoff dates
• Payroll processing dates
• Expected payment dates
• Public holidays

Hover over a date to see more details about an event.

You can also:

• Hide or show event types by selecting the eye icon in the Payroll events legend
• Choose whether your week starts on Monday or Sunday
• Download your calendar as a PDF

How to approve your payroll calendar

When your calendar is ready for review, its status changes to Pending approval. 

The company admin selected as your point of contact receives a notification. Owners, Super Admins, and custom roles with access to Payroll calendars can also review and approve the calendar from Company settings.

1. Open your payroll calendar
2. Review the payroll dates
3. If everything looks correct, select Approve
4. Your calendar becomes Active and your payroll schedule is locked in

How to request changes to your payroll calendar

How you request a change depends on your calendar's status.

If your calendar is Pending approval:

1. Open your payroll calendar
2. Leave a comment explaining what needs to change
3. The calendar status changes to Changes requested while Remote reviews your request
4. Once Remote updates the calendar, its status returns to Pending approval so you can review and approve the changes

If your calendar is already Active, the schedule is locked and you can no longer leave a comment. Please reach out to us via live messaging to request a change. We'll reopen the calendar so you can review and approve the updated schedule.
