Approve payroll

Approve a draft payroll, transitioning it from draft to pending for processing. This is the final step of the payroll process.

Flow: POST /payrolls (create draft) → review preview → POST /payrolls/:id/approve.

On approval, the server:

  • Submits the payroll for processing
  • Assigns paper check numbers for manual-payment employees
  • Activates pending pay schedules
  • Creates PTO accruals for hourly policies
  • Sends confirmation emails and push notifications to admins and accountants
  • Creates an audit log entry

Only available for payrolls in draft status. Requires the payroll plan or higher.
