Understanding Payroll History

Each time that you process a payroll cycle, the system creates historical records of employees' earnings, deductions, benefits, accruals, and taxes. You can review this history to verify that it is correct and revise it, if necessary.

Payroll history includes detailed and summarized information for:

• Earnings and taxes.

• Transaction history for pay types, deductions, benefits, and accruals (PDBAs).

• Timecards.

• Accruals, such as vacation time earned, taken, and available.

• Individual payment information.

You use historical information to answer employees' questions, to print historical and government reports, and to process year-end forms for employees. You can also perform functions such as voiding a payment when you review individual payment information.
