In Brief: Most Likely, the Problem Is Not on Your Side
Is “Payroll and HR for Government Organizations” not opening, is the login process freezing, or are documents not being posted? The first thing you need to determine within a minute is that the problem is often on the service side, not at your workplace. The formula is simple: the service is down, not your system. Therefore, do not spend an hour reinstalling and restarting anything until you have checked the system status.
Automated checks may detect system disruptions. For the latest information, refer not to this article (the situation changes every minute), but to the system page: check in 5 seconds — buhgpt.kz/status.
Who This Affects
| Who | What they experience during an outage |
|---|---|
| Government institution accountant | Payroll cannot be calculated, documents cannot be posted |
| HR specialist | Orders, leave records, and appointments cannot be saved |
| Payroll specialist | “Payroll Payable” freezes, payroll statements are not generated |
| Manager / chief accountant | Payment and reporting deadlines are missed |
If you are on this list and everything has stopped working for your colleagues at the same time, this is another sign that the cause is shared and is not related to your computer.
How to Distinguish a Service Outage from a Problem on Your Side
A quick way to distinguish between the two situations is by the symptom.
Likely a service outage:
- the system does not open or keeps loading indefinitely for several employees at once;
- the login process is interrupted at the authentication stage;
- documents are not saved, with no clear error message.
Likely a problem on your side:
- the system works, but a specific document cannot be posted and displays a message such as “Field … is not completed.” For example, for the “Organizations’ Payroll Payable” document, the header fields Bank, Calculation Type, Organization, Payroll Accrual Period, Method for Calculating Amounts Payable must be completed, and Individual must be specified in the tabular section. For “Refund of Salaries of the Organization’s Employees,” Organization and the Individual column are mandatory;
- the error occurs only for you, while everything works for your colleagues;
- only one directory or report does not open.
If this is a completion error, the service is not the cause; complete the required fields and post the document again.
What to Do Right Now
- Check the status. Open buhgpt.kz/status and see whether an outage has been detected for this system.
- Do not disrupt your workplace setup. If the outage is on the service side, reinstalling, clearing the cache, and trying to “bring up” the database will not help—you will only waste time.
- Record the incident. Take a screenshot of the error and note the exact time—this will be useful if you need to explain why a deadline was missed.
- Notify those who are waiting. Inform the chief accountant or manager that the operation has been delayed due to a system disruption and not through any fault of yours.
- Keep the document ready. As soon as the service is restored, post the accrual or payment immediately—do not let work pile up until the last minute.
What to Do About a Missed Deadline
If the disruption prevented you from posting a payment or report on time, the key issue is being able to provide evidence. Saved screenshots showing the date and time, as well as the outage notice on the status page, confirm that the cause was external. Submit this evidence to your management and the system’s support team to document the postponement of the operation. We do not specify particular deadlines, penalties, or procedures here, as they depend on the type of reporting and your circumstances; check the official regulations and consult support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the outage on my side or in the system? — If the system does not open for several employees at once and there is no clear completion error, it is almost certainly a service outage. Check the status page.
Will restarting or reinstalling help? — Not if the outage is on the service side: it will only waste time. Check the status first, and only then make changes to your workplace setup.
What does the “Field … is not completed” error mean? — This is a problem on your side: a required document field has not been completed. Complete the necessary fields (for example, Bank, Organization, Individual) and post the document again.
How can I protect myself if a deadline is missed? — Save a screenshot of the error showing the date and time, as well as the outage notice on the status page. This evidence will confirm the external cause of the delay.
Where can I check the current status? — Only on the system page: unlike the article text, it is updated in real time.
