Below are the common reasons why your year end reports do not match:
Reason | Description | Details |
Employee moving company | If during the tax year, one or more employees transferred to another company in your payroll. | If an employee moves from company A to company B during the year, their cumulatives aren't included in the employee cumulatives (all) report or the final control report for the old pay group. |
Manual or cancel payments processed | Processing cancel or manual payments after the final payroll run is processed, and the final control report has been generated, can cause reports not to balance. | The complete update report reflects the employees’ cumulatives before the cancel or manual payments were processed, whereas the pre year end data check report reflects the employees’ current cumulatives. |
Manually adjusting cumulatives | Adjusting the employees’ cumulatives after the final payroll run, and the final control report has been generated can cause reports not to balance. | The complete update report reflects the employees’ cumulatives before the employees’ cumulatives were adjusted. |
Checking the reports in the middle of a payroll run | Checking the reports in the middle of a payroll run can cause the reports not to balance. | This check should be done at the end of a payroll run and before you start the next payroll run. |
