Common issues when reviewing payroll
Payroll amount does not match expectations
Review the employee’s pay rate, total hours, period selected, overtime, taxes, and which jobs are included in the payroll calculation. Validate against job records and reports if needed.
Checking the wrong period or record
Confirm that you have selected the correct payroll period or record for the employee before comparing values to jobs and reports.
