The Pay Page

The Pay landing page — run payroll for employees and pay contractors, in one place.

The Pay page is where you pay everyone: EOR employees through payroll, and contractors through contractor runs. Open Pay in the sidebar (route /employer/pay) to reach it.

Header

The header reads Pay with the subtitle “Run payroll for your employees and pay your contractors”, and offers three buttons:

• Run payroll: A dropdown that starts any kind of run, employee or contractor (see below).
• History: Opens Payroll History.
• Settings: Opens Payroll Settings.

If you have nobody to pay yet, the page replaces everything below the header with “Hire an employee or invite a contractor to start paying” and an Add people button.

Below the header a banner says when your salaries next go out, for example Salaries for September 2026 Payroll go out on October 5, 2026. With no run on its way it gives the next payout day. See Payroll Settings for how the payout day works.

KPI cards

Four cards summarise your pay activity:

Card	What it shows
Next payroll	What you’ll pay for the first EOR run still in Draft, Waiting for approval or Approved status, and its pay date, or — when there is none. It’s the Total to pay on that run’s page.
Last payroll	What you paid for your most recent completed EOR run.
YTD paid	What you’ve paid for EOR runs completed this financial year, with “N runs this year” beneath it.
Contractor runs	How many contractor runs you have. Underneath, what you can actually act on: “N to approve”, or else “N invoices ready to pay”, or else “All caught up”. An invoice that is blocked on an agreement is not counted as ready.

Next payroll, Last payroll and YTD paid are what you pay, in your invoice currency, after any wallet credit. They match the run page and History. Where your runs span more than one currency the figure is shown without a symbol, because no single one is true of all of it.

Waiting to be paid

When contractors submit invoices that aren’t in a run yet, they are listed under Waiting to be paid, with the currency in the heading, for example “Waiting to be paid (USD)”. A run pays one currency at a time, so each currency gets its own card.

An invoice you have not approved yet carries Approve and Decline buttons and cannot be ticked. Declining asks for a reason, which is what the contractor is shown, so they can fix it and resubmit.

Once an invoice is approved, tick it (or use the checkbox in the card header to take the whole currency) and choose Pay as a run to pay them together. The bar above the button says how many you have selected and reminds you that “One $5.00 processing fee covers everything in this run”, so grouping invoices is cheaper than paying them one at a time.

Invoices that aren’t payable yet (work agreement or CSA pending) show the reason and can’t be ticked. See Approving and paying contractors.

Runs

A single Runs table lists every run, EOR and contractor together, newest first, with a View all link to the full history. A chip marks each row as EOR · India or Contractors. Before your first run it reads “No runs yet” with a Run payroll button.

Column	Description
Run	The run name and its type chip
People	The number of people in the run
Amount	What you pay for the run, for EOR and contractor runs alike
Status	A colour-coded status badge
Date	The pay date (EOR) or the run date (contractor)

Click an EOR run to open its detail page. Click a contractor run to open it, where you can review its invoices, add more, and pay.
