Reports | Payroll


 

1) Overview

This report provides an easy to understand summary of the timesheet/payroll associated with a given timesheet period.

Users can breakdown the cost records for any period and drill down specific details as required.

A few examples of how this report can be used:

  • See the individual cost records that make up a full payroll period, or a single employees pay slip.
  • See the aggregated hour and cost totals for overtime categories over a current period to help drill down on excess labour costs.
  • See the aggregated hour and cost totals for a given location over a given period. Compare this to other locations to determine efficiency or areas for improvement.

Users can access the Payroll Costs Report at any stage when logged in to Easy Employer, although it is best used when processing cost records after the completion of a timesheet period. As such, the default dates on the report are based on the previous timesheet / payroll period.

 

2) Data included in the payroll costs report

The report includes the following data:

  • Public holiday non-worked hours and costs
  • Public holiday worked hours and costs
  • Paid hours and costs
  • All payroll costs (penalty rates, allowances etc) relating to the above.
  • Makeup hours and costs (e.g. salary employee working under their hours)
  • Unpaid and paid leave hours and costs
  • Leave loading

 

3) Data not included in the payroll costs report

The Payroll Costs Report does not include:

  • Roster hours and costs

 

4) Filtering options

When filtering the report by user or group, the start date selected is used to determine which users or groups are shown. This is because the report can be scoped to any date range and users and groups can change over that date range.

If you are scoping the report date range across multiple periods, and want to include the data for all users and groups, we do not recommend filtering the data by users or groups. Instead, group the data the required way (if required) then export the report to perform further filtering in Excel.
