2. Close attendance exceptions that affect payable days
3. Ensure leave approvals that change pay are finalized
4. Queue garnishments or off-cycle items for this month
5. PF: wage ceiling and shares match tenant policy
6. ESI: threshold applied only where eligible
7. Professional Tax: correct state slab per location
8. TDS: New Tax Regime path for employees on that regime
9. Prepare → review → approve with maker-checker discipline
10. Export bank advice / PF ECR / ESI only from Paid or Locked runs
