Modifying Payroll Report Sections

By default Payroll report sections are made up of subsections in the order shown in the list below. The Report Sections page enables you to reorder, remove, and add subsections for the Earnings, Deductions, and Company Contributions report sections. You cannot change the Taxes and Company Taxes sections.

Payroll Report Sections let you assign Payroll Items that you define to specific sections of payroll reports, some of which you can also define. You can assign each payroll item to a particular report subsection including any new report subsections. For more information about Payroll Items, see Payroll Items Setup.

The standard Report Sections and sub-sections are:

• Earnings

  • Wages

  • Salary

  • Expenses

• Taxes – You cannot add or remove this section or its sub-sections.

  • SS/Med

  • Federal

  • State

  • Local

• Deductions

  • Retirement

  • Health

• Company Taxes – You cannot add or remove this section or its sub-sections.

  • SS/Med

  • Federal

  • State

  • Local

• Company Contributions

  • Retirement

The Report Section list on the Payroll Item page includes the options that you define on the Report Sections page. For example, you can define a Payroll Item named Third Party Sick Pay - Taxable. Then, you can assign that item to the Salary report sub-section of the Earnings section.
