Send for Review asks workers to check their pay before you finalize. Each worker with access to Pending Pay sees a banner on their Pending Pay page and can select Verify Pay or Request Review with a comment. You see each worker's answer as a badge in Run Payroll, and you can reply or approve from there. Review is optional: you can finalize without it.
Who can do this: Admins whose permission group includes Payroll > Run Payroll & Approvals with Edit (needed to select rows), and Company Admins.
Send pay for review
In the Admin view, open Payroll > Run-Payroll, choose the pay frequency, and choose Employee or Contractor if your company has both worker types.
Choose the current open pay period. This is the pay period workers see on their Pending Pay page, and the only one you can send for review. It must not be finalized yet.
Switch to Worker View. Send for Review isn't offered in Job View.
Tick the workers you want to review their pay.
In the selection bar, select Send for Review. You see "Pay details sent for contractor review."
Each worker gets the email "Your Payroll Has Been Sent for Review" if your company's email settings allow it. See Why aren't my workers getting Sequifi emails?
What the worker sees
On My Earnings > Pending Pay, the worker sees "Your pay details for this pay period are available. Please review and confirm they look correct." with two buttons:
Verify Pay: the pay looks right.
Request Review: something looks wrong. The worker writes a comment and selects Send.
Workers can also do this on their phone. See Mobile: pending pay, verifying your pay and paystubs.
Review statuses
Badge | Meaning |
Pending | Sent for review. The worker hasn't answered yet. |
Verified | The worker confirmed the pay, or you approved it. |
Needs Review | The worker asked for a change. The admin who sent the review gets an email saying the worker commented on their payroll review. |
Re-verify | You replied, and the worker is asked to check the pay again. |
Answer a worker who asked for a review
In Run Payroll, Worker View, find the worker's badge. Hover over Needs Review to read their latest comment.
Fix the pay if needed, for example with an adjustment or a row action.
Select the badge. In the comment window, type in Add a comment.
Select Send to reply and ask the worker to check again (the badge becomes Re-verify), or Send & Approve to reply and mark the review Verified.
Finalizing with reviews open
When you select Finalize Payroll, the window says "You can send pay details to contractors for review to help catch discrepancies before payroll runs, or continue without verification." It shows how many workers are Pending, Verified, Needs Review and Re-verify. Open reviews don't stop you from finalizing.
Common questions
Why don't I see Send for Review?
Check that you are in Worker View, that you ticked at least one row, that you chose the current open pay period, and that the payroll isn't finalized.
A worker says they never got the review
They can still open My Earnings > Pending Pay and see the banner. Pending Pay is not available in every company setup. If a worker has no Pending Pay page, ask your company admin to check their setup and payroll status. Workers on Stop Payroll don't see Pending Pay.
