Employees with dates that fall outside the pay period may be flagged as &#8220;Not Ready&#8221; as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 5: Review Other Required Employee Information<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ensure that all mandatory fields in the employee&#8217;s profile have been filled in. This includes their Employee ID, tax information where applicable, pension or NHF contributions, and any custom payroll additions or deductions that may have been set up for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 6: Save Changes and Refresh Payroll<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After updating all the necessary information, save the changes and refresh the payroll dashboard or return to the Confirm &amp; Review Employees section to allow the system to reflect the updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 7: Confirm Status Change<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once all required
