Finding out how much each employee costs

The Employer Costs report gives you a breakdown of costs processed via your payroll. This information also forms part of the detailed payroll report.  Part 7 of the Detailed Report also provides a brief Year-To-Date summary.

 TIP: You can also use the P11 reports from the Year End tab at any point in the year. This gives you an insight into the current Year-To-Date values for individual employees. 

 CAUTION: These reports are only available on a per-pay-period basis. This means to get the annual cost you need to add up the required figures from each pay period.
