Payroll register, deduction register, and earnings statement

Use the Statement of Earnings to view all the relevant information of an employee's payroll run in a single place so that you can view and verify the run results easily. For example, as a payroll manager of an employee who's transferred to another state or province, you can view the employee's Statement of Earnings to verify their withholding is paid to the correct state or province.

You can open an employee's Statement of Earnings using either of these tasks:

  • Use the Person Results task to directly search for an employee and view their Statement of Earnings.

  • Use the Process Results Summary task to search and select the flow you've submitted and view individual records processed by the flow. Use the Actions menu on an individual record to open the Statement of Earnings of the employee.

You can find the Person Results and the Process Results Summary tasks in the Payroll section under My Client Groups on the Home page.

Details of the Statement of Earnings

The Statement of Earnings shows you the processing details and the breakdown of the payroll calculations by balance groups.

When you open the Statement of Earnings page for an employee, the page first loads the Net Pay amount of the employee. You can view at a glance the Net Pay amount for the employee. The page displays an icon to indicate that the page is loading more information such as the total amounts of other balance groups. Data for other balance groups are displayed subsequently on the page.

After all the information gets loaded onto the page, you can navigate to the other regions of the Statement of Earnings. For example, you can expand the Gross Pay or Employee Tax Deductions to view more details of the calculations.

The tabs and sections available to view depends on your country's implementation. The tabs at the top of the Statement of Earnings display the following:

  • Net Payment

  • Earnings

  • Employee Tax Deductions

  • Employer Contributions

The tabs show the overview of amounts calculated, click on the amount to view the year-to-date balance totals.

Use the Actions menu at the page-level to select other results to review on the View Person Process Results page. This table lists the sections you can view in place of the Statement of Earnings.
