# How To Run Payroll - Step 2: Review & Approve
## This article describes how to approve your payroll on PaidHR.
Once a payroll has been submitted for approval, the approver will receive an email notification prompting them to review the payroll. If you are one of the approvers, here's how to approve payroll:
1. Navigate to Menu and scroll down to **Compensation**.
2. Click on the downward arrow next to **Payroll** to reveal additional options.
3. Select **Records**.
4. From the dropdown menu, choose **To Review**. This will bring up a list of payroll records that are **Pending Review.**
5. Tap the dotted line on the payroll record you want to approve and choose **View** from the options.
6. A page will come up where you can review how much your employees take home and how much the organization pays. You can also compare this record to the last regular run to understand how your payroll has changed.
7. Click on **Review Payroll**. A box will come up asking you to either approve or decline the record. Select **Approve**.

If you're not the final person in the approval process, a prompt will be sent to the next person for their review of the payroll. But if you are, the payroll will be marked as approved.
