Validation is the last moment an error costs little. Illizeo gives you four checks to find it before the file goes into production.
The four checks that catch almost everything #
| Check | What it reveals |
|---|---|
| The wage-bill delta | The summary gives the month’s total and its change against the previous one. A delta you cannot explain is a delta to explain. |
| The month’s changes | Changed salaries, joiners, leavers. Every line should match a decision you recognise. |
| The alerts | Missing IBAN, negative leave balance, salary change. |
| The version comparison | Two generations of the same month, side by side. The check that catches what nobody thought to look for. |
Step by step #
-
Read the summary before the detail #
Wage bill, delta against last month, alert count, absences, joiners, leavers, changes. If those seven figures look normal, the detail probably will too.
-
Explain every delta #
A joiner, a leaver, a 13th month, a raise: a wage-bill delta always has an identifiable cause. If it has none, it just has not been found yet.
-
Clear the alerts #
An alert left as is turns into a question from the partner, or a payment that does not arrive.
-
Compare with the previous version #
If you already generated the file once this month, compare before approving. Corrections made in between show up; so do the ones you did not ask for.
-
Approve, knowing it is reversible #
Approval freezes the period. It can be revoked: better to approve on time and fix afterwards than hold the whole cycle for one case.
-
Send the file #
The generated document is dated and versioned. Note the version number you send: that is the reference if a question comes back.
What does not exist #
No payslip preview in Illizeo — the payslip only exists after production, at the partner. No automatic detection of individual deltas above a threshold. No mobile push notification: the channels are the dashboard, email and Slack. No electronic signature of the payroll validation.
FAQ #
Who should validate?
Whoever can explain the delta: in practice, the person who knows the month’s movements, not only the one who holds the right.
What about an unexplained delta?
Do not approve it. An approved month can be revoked, but a payment that has gone out cannot be recalled.
Must everything be reviewed every month?
No. Review what moved — which is exactly what the changes tab and the version comparison give you.
What if the partner spots an inconsistency?
It comes back through Illizeo’s coordination, is corrected in the period, and the file is regenerated — a new version, comparable to the previous one.
