Lock the Payroll Input Version Before Review

A dependable routine for payroll input versions begins with one controlled record. Capture period, sequence, row count, control total, and approval as separate facts so one completed event cannot hide an unfinished handoff.

The coordinator can check required fields, send approved reminders, and record factual replies. payroll and payment owners retain interpretation, approval, exceptions, sensitive decisions, and changes outside the written routine.

Preserve the source and add corrections as new events instead of rewriting history. Close the item only with accepted evidence or a named exception, owner, and next-check date. Keep private details in the approved restricted system.
