# How To Run Payroll - Step 1: Submit
## This article describes how you can submit your payroll for approval.
Before you submit your payroll for approval, ensure that you have attached every employee to their respective [paygrades and paybands](https://support.padehcm.com/en/articles/9246024-how-to-create-paygrades).
If you have done these, here's how to submit your payroll for approval on PaidHR.
- Navigate to Menu and scroll down to **Compensation**.
- Click on the downward arrow next to **Payroll** to reveal additional options.
- Select **Records**.
- From the dropdown menu on the top left corner, select **Not Submitted**. This will display a list of payroll records that haven’t been submitted yet.

- If you don’t see your payroll listed, it might be because your payroll run date is still ahead. In that case, click **Create Payroll** and select the appropriate payroll period.
- Locate the payroll record you want to submit.
- If you have multiple payrolls in a month (i.e., **regular and off-cycle**), be sure to choose the correct one.
- Tap the **three-dot icon** next to the payroll record and select **Preview** to proceed.
- You will find two tables that show what your employees will take home and what the organization will pay. Click on each table to see a summary of your payroll. Click **Next** to move to the next screen.
- At the top right of your screen:
- Click **Summary Preview** to view a summary of your payroll before submission.
- Click **Detailed Preview** to view a more comprehensive report of your payroll.
- Click **Refresh** to ensure all changes made to payroll earlier are applied.
- Click **Next** to move to the next screen.
- On the **Review & Submit** tab, you can preview the numbers again and click **Submit** if you find no discrepancies.
- Your payroll has now been submitted and it is awaiting approval.
