Understanding Payroll History

Each time that you process a payroll cycle, the system creates historical records of employee 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 detail and summary 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 questions for employees, to print historical and government reports, and to process year-end forms for employees. You can also perform certain tasks, such as voiding a payment, when you review information for individual payments.
