Ensuring the payment run due date for salary payments is correct is very important. This date dictates when employees will get paid.

To override the payment due date for salary payments, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Payroll → Payroll Tools → Paying Out → Pay Employees.

2. In the 'Pay Employees' window, locate and click the Create Run button.

3. The 'Create Payment Run' window displays the default payment due date, which is typically based on your payroll pay date setup. If needed, you can override this date to accommodate specific circumstances. This window will also contain other important information related to the payment run.

In most cases, you can allow Cintra iQ to use the default due date, which is based on your payroll pay date setup. 

If you need to create a supplementary payment run (outside your normal payroll processing), the due date must represent the date you want the employee(s) to be paid. Not checking this date risks the payment being made for an incorrect date or not being paid at all if the due date is in the past.

The correct due date also applies to a penny test when a payment run is created and BACS submitted to test the connection between the Bureau and the client’s SUN number.
