▼Pay Trends graph

The Pay Trends graph plots total employee net pay over the most recent pay runs. This includes the current one.

It also plots the total cost to the employer of the employees’ pay.

The graph is a useful way of seeing unexpected pay changes.

For example, if all the employees are on a fixed pay rate, the total employee net pay value won’t change. If you do see an unexpected change, it can be due to a processing error.

▼Draft Payslips

You can view a Draft payslip for each individual employee, or Export all draft payslips.

NOTE: These versions aren’t suitable to print or send to your employees.

For more information, read Draft payslips.

▼To open the detailed report

To generate the detailed report, select the open the detailed report link.

The report opens in a new tab, and gives you comprehensive information about the current pay run.

You can use it to confirm that all pay values are correct
