Created on  | Last modified on 

Summary

The information included and how to generate the detailed report Sage Payroll.

Description

The detailed report allows you to see information about a pay period(s) for all employees processed. This allows you to check everything is correct in one location. 

The report contains the following information:

  • A payslip summary for each employee
  • A summary of payments and deductions
  • A breakdown of employer costs
  • A breakdown of amounts due to HMRC
  • A breakdown of payment method totals

There are two versions of the detailed report:

  1. For a specific pay run.
  2. For a date range.
     NOTE: The date range report is only available in Payroll Standard and Premium. To upgrade, read Upgrade your Sage subscription. 

Although you can generate the report at any time, we recommend you save or print this report each time you Process a pay run. This ensures records remain accurate.

Resolution

The version of the report you need depends on what figures you want to report on.

Processing a pay run automatically generates the Detailed report for that period. You can open it from the Completed Pay Run window under the heading of open the detailed report. You can also access the report for any previous periods.
