Reports to review before payment
- 1
Bank Schedule: save the shared Company Account Number in Firm Settings first, then confirm the Bank Schedule tab's editable Schedule Name and payment rows.
- Bank Name appears immediately after Schedule Name and uses saved employee bank details; missing names stay blank.
- Check the debit account, credit account and Credit Bank Code before uploading to your bank.
The Summary - Bank Schedule tab updates automatically when Schedule Names change, and the output reflects the same final net pay after approved variables, deductions, and any Prior-period net-pay recovery as the payroll journal, general ledger, and payslips.

Open PAYE Tax Computation and review Taxable Pay, the amount used to calculate PAYE.
- - The note below Taxable Pay explains its purpose.
- - Read the taxable pay range first, then the amount taxed in that band, its rate and PAYE for that band.
- Ranges follow the selected monthly or weekly basis; Over excludes the previous band's upper limit.

- - Review both amounts in the preview or PDF before sharing the report.
