Download and review payroll reports

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. 1
   Payroll Provision - CFS: review gross pay, deductions, reliefs, PAYE, net pay, and employee-level payroll computation. Component columns with no values for anyone in the selected run are omitted, and each employee net pay is never shown below zero. When used in the selected period, Prior-period net-pay recovery appears as a separate labelled post-tax deduction.
2. 2
   General Ledger by All Departments, Department, Location, or State where enabled: confirm payroll cost allocation before authorization. A used Prior-period net-pay recovery appears as a separate labelled post-tax deduction, and net pay is reduced by the same amount. Its tax-calculation fields—Rent Relief, Employee Pension, and Taxable Pay—appear immediately before PAYE.
3. 3
   Salary Changes: compare the selected run against the prior approved month at component level. It shows changed, new, and removed employees while excluding unchanged employees. A used Prior-period net-pay recovery is shown separately for reconciliation.
4. 4
   Custom Component Report: use Generate Preview first, then Export XLSX after reviewing the in-app preview. When recovery was used in the period, select Prior-period net-pay recovery to review it as a system-controlled post-tax deduction.
5. 5
   Variable Ledger: review variable income and deduction usage uploaded for the run, including resolved formula and percentage amounts for variable components.
6. 6
   Payslip and PAYE Tax Computation: choose a department, then view the WiseWage version or download the department output. A PAYE Download ZIP contains PAYE tax-computation PDFs for the selected departments, not payslips.
7. 7
   Exception and departure warnings: check missing setup, post-departure inclusion, and same-period proration warnings before authorizing.
8. 8
   Payslip or PAYE preview outputs where your workflow requires an additional payroll review before final authorization.

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.

1. 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. 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.
