Take a moment to review all the details you've entered. It's important to make sure everything is accurate, as any changes to your information will need to be made by your employer or through the employee portal (if applicable).

Once you're done, select Finish.

After completing the setup, an email will be sent to all registered payroll admins, letting them know that the self setup process has been successfully completed.

Your employer will review the information provided and add any additional required details. Once this is done, you'll be all set for future pay runs.
