Run pay and record payouts

Last updated 12 October 2026

A pay run works out what's owed for a period. A payout is what you actually paid.

Run pay

  1. 1
    Go to Team → Pay runs.
  2. 2
    Generate the current period. Cobbtree works out wages, commission, tips, chair rent and adjustments.
  3. 3
    Check each person. Everyone is listed, even people with nothing due, so you can add adjustments.
  4. 4
    Select Approve to lock the figures.

Record payouts

When you pay someone outside Cobbtree, by bank transfer or cash, record the payout. You can split one balance across more than one payment. Cobbtree doesn't pay staff through Stripe.

Fixing mistakes

  • Refunds after approval become adjustments in the next open period. Past figures aren't changed.
  • If you void a pay run, you can't recalculate it. Generate a new pay run for that period instead.

Team Pay reports

Open Reports and choose a Team Pay report: Team Pay Summary, Commission Activity, Pay Runs, Payouts, Chair Rent, Tips or Outstanding Balances. Export to CSV for your accountant. These aren't official payroll files.
