At 10 o'clock in the morning, the day before your employees will receive their salary, is the absolute latest you can approve the salary. If it happens later than this, the salary won’t be paid automatically.
When approving the salary a whole process starts, and it is this process that in the end will pay your employees their hard-working money.
How to approve the salary:
Choose payroll -> Select the active payroll awaiting approval:
2. Choose Approve after having selected the payroll
Important note:
We are unable to help you with approving the salary. This is because it’s you as the owner of the company, that knows what to pay and why. We will never be able to know this information.
And again: Have everything ready for the second last bank day of the month - if you can get everything in place before this, then it’s only a recommendation.
If you are a Premium user of Salary, you can activate automatic approval of salary. Contact our support for more information.

How to Reopen a Canceled Payroll Run?
How to Reopen a Canceled Payroll Run?
If you don’t approve a regular payroll run before the deadline, the system will automatically cancel it after a few days.
Fortunately, you still have the option to reopen the payroll and complete the process.
Steps to Reopen a Canceled Payroll Run
1. Go to the Payroll tab. Click on the payroll run marked as Canceled that you want to reopen.
2. Click Recreate
3. The system will automatically create an extraordinary payroll run for the same period, using the data from the original payroll.
4. Now you can click on the payroll. If you are not using Payment Services (Overførselsservice), you can simply click Approve to finalize the process.
If you are using Overførselsservice, you must choose whether the salary will be transferred automatically via Overførselsservice or manually. If you want automatic payment, click Switch to Payment Services, and the salary will be paid within 2 business days. If you're making retroactive payroll, do NOT change the disposition date, as this affects the month in which the tax reporting is made.
Important:
If you approve before 10:00 AM, the money will be transferred on the next business day.
If you approve after 10:00 AM, the money will be transferred within 2 business days.
If you use NemKonto for payment, the approval deadline is 8:00 AM.

What do I do if I forget to approve the Payroll?
What do I do if I forget to approve the Payroll?
All payrolls should, if you want automatic salary payment, be approved no later than the penultimate bank day at 10 in the morning.
If you somehow don't approve the salary in time for this deadline, we will create an extended salary period that expires at 23:59 the last day of the month. The only difference between the normal salary deadline and the extended deadline is that you’ll be unable to transfer the salary with Overførselsservice as the money shall be visible on the employee's account the first day of the next coming month.
So if you approve the salary during the extended period, you’ll have to transfer the net salary manually from the company account to the employee’s account. Overførselsservice will take care of the other transfers that are necessary.
You will be able to find the account numbers for your employee's accounts by going to Payroll -> Select the salary period -> Scroll down to transfer and click Show -> Choose See account numbers.
