In Weplanify, the **Control** step gathers in one list everything that can make a payslip wrong. Each point is either settled or marked verified: nothing else needs rereading.

## Steps

1. In the monthly payroll, open the **Control** step; if payslips are not up to date, click **Recompute all**.
2. Settle blocking points first (a contract without a salary, a rule that cannot be computed).
3. For each point to check, click **See why** or open the row, then **Mark verified** if all is normal.
4. Read the comparison with last month: payroll, net to pay, headcount, and **why gross pay changes**, cause by cause.

## What is checked

- To check: missing time, pending absences, unclocked exits, expense claims to include, missing payslips, net varying by more than 5%, amount outside the [set bounds](https://weplanify.io/docs/paie.configuration.alertes?lang=en).
- For information: contracts ending this month, employees without bank details paid in cash.

## Good to know

- A point marked verified stays so for this month; a new case of the same kind shows up again.
- Explained variations: arrivals, departures, then element by element; their total always equals the difference.
