Receiving a payroll error upon processing payroll can be frustrating. This list of payroll errors provides the quick steps to resolve the errors so you can finish processing your payroll. In addition to providing the quick resolution, we provide a link to additional articles for more details on how to avoid the error in the future.


Export payroll errors

You can export the payroll validation errors to a .CSV file. The payroll errors will be identified with an Error Number. Each payroll error is also assigned a number for severity.

When the payroll errors are exported they will be grouped by the level of severity, and listed in ascending order by Error Number.

  1. Login to Fingercheck as an Admin.

  2. Start processing payroll from the Payroll tab.

  3. Click Run Payroll.

  4. Confirm Check Date and click Next.

  5. Enter payroll information and click Next.

  6. At Step 5 of the payroll process, export the Payroll Errors report.

    1. Click the the .CSV icon.

    2. Navigate to the folder the Payroll Errors report saved and open.


Understanding and managing error severity levels

When it comes to payroll errors, we've got a system in place to help you understand how serious they are. We use three levels to identify payroll errors: Warning, Error, and Fatal Error.

Warning: No need to panic! A warning won't put a stop to your payroll processing. However, it's important to give it some attention. Take a look, make the necessary adjustments, and you'll be on track for smooth payroll reporting.

Error: If you stumble upon an error, don't worry – we're here to help! You might need a hand from our Fingercheck Support team to tackle this one. It's a good idea to resolve the error before processing your next payroll..

Fatal Error: The name might sound scary, but we've got your back. A fatal error does mean you can't finish processing payroll just yet. However, once you've fixed the error, you'll be able to continue processing payroll.

When exporting the payroll errors list, you'll see Fatal Errors listed first, followed by Warnings.

Remember, we're here to guide you through these levels of severity. Keep calm and handle those errors one step at a time!
