After that, you're now ready to process payroll for your employees':

1. Go to the Payroll menu, then select Run payroll.
2. Set a pay schedule, then Continue.
3. Select the employees you want to pay.
4. Verify if you have selected the correct bank account, pay period, and pay date. You can also modify them as needed.
