Once you've set up Salary payments and processed a pay run, you can authorise the payment. This sends your payment instructions to the bank, but you must complete the banks authorisation process first. 

If you're not the person who has the necessary bank information, you can create a payment link. You can email this to the relevant person to complete.

Once done, Sage Payroll will update, allowing you to continue the rest of the process.

Before generating a link

We need to ensure the information in Payroll agrees with the values included in a payment link. This means that once you generate a link, you can't edit the completed pay run until: 

• 24 hours have passed and the link becomes invalid
• The authorisation process is completed

After this you can edit the pay run as normal and generate a new link.

Generate a link

1. On the Summary screen, in the Salary payments panel, select Get payment link.
2. Confirm the details and select Generate link.
3. After a few moments, a link displays. Select Copy link.

The payment Status will change to In progress. If you don't complete the authorisation process within 24 hours, the status will change to Payment cancelled.

Send a link

You can send this to the required person by pasting it into an email. Do this outside of Sage Payroll.
