What information is on the Payroll Check History Report in Payroll 2.x

The system retains detailed check history transactions for the number of years defined in the Payroll Options History tab.

The Payroll Check History Report lists all checks written for a specified period and sorts them by Employee number, Employee Name, or Sort field entry.

You retain check history information for the number of years you enter in Retain Payroll History on the History tab of Payroll Options. Enter at least four years, and you can enter up to 99 years. During year-end processing, the system purges payroll history that exceeds the number of years you retain.

The report displays Regular Hours and Total Hours. It also includes hours for earning types other than Regular in Total Hours. The report calculates Gross Earnings from all earning types. Use this report for reference purposes; it doesn't serve all reconciling needs.

Select Print Options by Quarter/Year, Check Date Range, Pay Period Ending Date Range, or Year to Date. Print data for Check Details, Direct Deposit Details, or Summary by clearing the corresponding checkboxes. You also select options to print each check breakdown by Earnings, Deductions, Taxes, and Recaps for all options except Year to Date.  You can also set a 'Print Social Security No' option.

You choose 'Selections to print' for All or Specific Employee Number, Employee Last Name, Sort Field, Deduction Code, or Earnings Code.

If you select the Require Departments in Payroll check box in the Payroll Options window, the report provides subtotals for each department.
