Salary journals
Description

You can use salary information from a pay run to create a Salary Journal Report. You can then export this and import into your accounting software. This will create journal transactions for you, which can save you time and reduce processing errors.

If you use Sage Accounting, we can take you through the whole process. 

 NOTE: It isn't possible to split the Gross Wages nominal code into sub-codes such as Bonus etc.

What the report does

The Salary Journal report lists the payments and deductions you made for a pay run. This is divided into categories and assigned to nominal codes that match your accounting software.

You can run the Salary Journal report for any completed pay run.

The report

There are three stages to getting the information into your accounts software. You only need to set up the report once. 

Changes and corrections

You can change your nominal codes after running salary journal reports. Running the reports again uses the new nominal codes. Historical salary journal reports will also use the new nominal codes.

Editing a pay run

If you edit a processed pay run, you can re-run the Salary Journal report. This will show the new edited figures. It’s recommended that you manually correct this in your accounts. Importing the report again will cause duplications if you already imported the original figures for that period.

You can see the original figures payroll generated by checking the original FPS submission. Alternatively, check your accounts program to view the posted journals.
