What Payroll Reports Do
Payroll reports help payroll, HR, and finance review payroll totals, statutory amounts, employee earnings, deductions, and accounting outputs.
Use reports after payroll setup, Draft Review, or Make Payment depending on the question you need to answer.
Which Report Should I Use?
- Monthly Payroll Report: review payroll totals for a month.
- Yearly Payroll Report: review payroll totals for a year.
- YTD Report: review year-to-date values.
- Statutory Report: prepare required country-specific filing data.
- NHI Report: review NHI contributions.
- Social Security Report: review Social Security contributions.
- Payroll Tax Report: review payroll tax values.
- GL Export: prepare accounting journal data.
- Bank File Export: prepare payment files for banks.
Practical Example
Finance asks, "How much did we pay in gross payroll for March?"
Use the Monthly Payroll Report for March. If finance asks for accounting entries, use GL Export instead.
Common Mistakes
- Using payslip history when a summary report is needed.
- Using monthly payroll report for statutory filing without checking statutory reports.
- Exporting GL before confirming payroll is final.
