Philippines Employment Operations Month-End Close
Close recurring employment-support records with reconciliations, owner sign-off, and carried exceptions.
Published September 1, 2026. A month-end close creates a reproducible cutoff for queues, records, access changes, payroll inputs, and open decisions. It is not permission to force unresolved work into completed status.
Publish exact times and owners for source freeze, reconciliation, review, correction, acceptance, and reporting. Define how approved late events and carried items are treated.
Reconcile starters to onboarding, leavers to access actions, approved payroll changes to submissions, and open requests to queue status. Investigate duplicates and missing identifiers instead of balancing artificially.
Maintain an exception ledger with item, fact, source, impact, next owner, safe interim state, target date, and period treatment. Sign-off states what was reviewed and what remains limited.
Version the accepted output and record later changes as post-close events. Review recurring exceptions and stale ownership at the next close so the operating record remains explainable.
