Reports to review before authorization

Payroll Journal is the core review report, but it is not the only pre-authorization check. Use the reports available to your role and company report-access settings before authorizing the run.

  1. 1Payroll Provision - CFS: review gross pay, deductions, reliefs, PAYE, net pay, and employee-level payroll computation.
  2. 2General Ledger by All Departments, Department, Location, or State where enabled: confirm payroll cost allocation before authorization.
  3. 3Salary Changes: compare the selected run against the prior approved month at component level. It shows changed, new, and removed employees while excluding unchanged employees.
  4. 4Custom Component Report: use Generate Preview first, then Export XLSX after reviewing the in-app preview.
  5. 5Variable Ledger: review variable income and deduction usage uploaded for the run, including resolved formula and percentage amounts for variable components.
  6. 6Payslip and PAYE Tax Computation: choose a department, then view the WiseWage version or download the department output.
  7. 7Exception and departure warnings: check missing setup, post-departure inclusion, and same-period proration warnings before authorizing.
  8. 8Payslip or PAYE preview outputs where your workflow requires an additional payroll review before final authorization.

Custom Component Report: Generate Preview then Export XLSX

Custom Component Report uses a generate-first workflow because reviewers choose the component, reporting treatment, employee filters, and whether zero or inactive employees should be included.

  2. 2Choose Custom Component Report.
  3. 3Select the component and filters required for the review.
  4. 4Click Generate Preview to review the report in WiseWage before downloading.
  5. 5For formula components, review the source component columns, final output, and calculation note.
  6. 6Click Export XLSX when the preview matches the report you need.

  2. 2Payslip review.
  3. 3PAYE Tax Computation view.
