Payroll Summary
See in one summary what happened in the payroll run
Payroll Summary brings together the most relevant control outcomes, attention points and review context from one payroll run so payroll professionals can focus on what matters before approval.
The summary remains linked to the payroll run and the controls on which it is based.
From control to overview
Bring the relevant outcomes of the payroll run together
A payroll run may contain many individual controls, control outcomes and review items. Payroll Summary brings the relevant information together in one run-specific summary.
This means the reviewer does not need to work through every individual control again to understand which topics require attention before approval.
Payroll Summary does not replace the underlying control. It makes its outcomes easier to review.
One payroll run
The summary belongs to the run being reviewed
Payroll Summary is linked to the payroll run on which the controls were executed. This keeps clear which run, control outcomes and review context the summary relates to.
Changes in later payroll runs do not alter the context of a run that has already been reviewed.
Attention points
See what still requires review before approval
The value of a summary is not in repeating every successful control. Payroll Summary helps reviewers focus on relevant attention points and Review Actions that still require assessment.
Illustration · status and context, not real run data
Summary, not a KPI dashboard
Context for payroll review, not just numbers
Payroll Summary is designed to support the review of a payroll run. The emphasis is therefore on control outcomes, Review Actions and relevant context rather than a collection of standalone management KPIs.
Where more detail is required, the underlying control information remains available.
Drill-down
Move from the summary to what requires review
An attention point in Payroll Summary should not end as an isolated notification. Where further review is needed, the relationship with the relevant control outcome and Review Action remains available.
Underlying controls
The summary remains traceable to Payroll Control
Payroll Summary is the endpoint of the summary, not of the control context. Reviewers can continue to trace relevant outcomes back to the controls and sources on which they are based.
Human in control
The summary supports the decision — it does not make it
Payroll Summary helps payroll professionals assess the outcomes of a payroll run in a structured way. The interpretation of attention points and final approval remain with the organization.
Payroll Summary supports review and assessment before approval. The summary does not lead to automatic payroll approval and does not replace human review. Enforced four-eyes approval follows: the preparer cannot finally close the run alone.
Payroll Intelligence
Ask deeper questions about the run
Alongside the structured summary, Payroll Intelligence can support payroll professionals when asking questions about the available run data and control information.
- Which control outcomes still require attention?
- Which Review Actions belong to this payroll run?
- Which source sits behind this exception?
Straty Intelligence supports analysis and explanation. Final review remains with the payroll professional.
Across countries
A consistent summary across different payroll environments
When countries use different payroll systems or providers, a consistent Payroll Summary structure can help teams review payroll runs according to recognizable principles.
The underlying sources and controls may differ by country while the summary of relevant outcomes follows the same logic.
From control to review
Fast control, structured follow-up
Automated controls typically execute in around one minute once the required sources are available.
Payroll Summary then helps bring the relevant outcomes of that run into a clear review context.
This refers to automated control execution only; human review and approval follow afterwards.
