Pay a director
The payment with the most law around it: the kind of pay, the notes that fit this society, the approval.
In the books, the Wizard walks this task beside you and ticks each step from the books as it lands.
Name the director and the kind of pay
Two kinds of pay stand apart in the books, because the law treats them apart. One is pay for being a director. The other is pay for other work the director did — building the website, running the workshop.
Pick the person, then the kind. The kind decides which notes show next and which totals the payment joins.

Read the law notes that fit this society
The notes that ride on this step are fitted to the society’s recorded facts: its kind, its bylaws answer. A society they do not fit never sees them. For a BC society they say, in plain words.
Pay for being a director stands only where the bylaws permit it. Directors paid for work must stay a minority of the board. A director with a stake in a payment takes no part in deciding it.
Each note names its law and links to the fuller wording. Reading them is the step. Nothing here blocks the payment.

If the pay is to you, another director approves first
No one approves their own payment. That is the one separation the app keeps, and it binds the act, not the person. If you are recording pay to yourself, it waits in the queue until another director decides it.
The consent dialog states the act in plain words: what will be paid, to whom, the amount. Pay to a different director needs no stop here.

Record the payment
Amount, what it was for, and paid from where: the bank, the society’s card, or laid out by a person the society now owes back. Record it the day it is paid. The entry joins the year’s pay totals from this moment.

See it in the pay note
The statements carry a note listing what directors were paid, each kind apart, because BC’s law puts it there for the members to read. Open the Statements page and see this payment standing in the note as it will be read at the members’ meeting. If it reads wrong here, it is wrong everywhere.
