Which Report

You have access to many types of reports. Here are the different types and the information contained in each. 

Pay Run 

Pay Run History Report: This report shows the history of all the pay runs you have done. It includes pay cycle dates, payment date, pay frequency, number of employees, date created, gross pay, Insurable earnings and Remittance. You have several choices on how to filter these reports. You can filter by “Final,” “Interim” or “All” to see only completed, incomplete or all pay runs. You can select “payroll year” to sort by year. You can select to show company portions for the tax amounts to see those broken out. These numbers are included in your remittance totals, so selecting this option only allows you to see the details. You can also download into Excel as needed.  

To find this report, follow these steps: Click Reports > Pay Run > Pay Run History.  

Time Sheet: This report will show you every time entry per employee, per pay run. It shows the employee’s name, start/end dates, earnings type, hours, rate, and cost account. Use this to quickly look up who was paid for what earnings in each pay run. Available to view or download in PDF.

To find this report, follow these steps: Click Reports > Employee HX > Pay Explorer. 

Accounting 

Billing: The Billing report is a report that allows you to see all the fees that PaymentEvolution has charged you. You cannot download this report; an alternative would be to take a screenshot, if needed.  

General Ledger: The GL report is the report that pushes payroll data to your accounting program when you are integrated with one of our accounting partners. It is created when you close your remittance period. This report pulls from the codes you entered in your company settings (Company settings > Payroll options > G/L) and includes all information related to those codes since the last time you closed your period. You have 3 (or 4 options) options for this report; View, PDF or XML (and Export-Cloud if connected with accounting program). 

NOTE: If you are not using an accounting add-on, then use this report to enter your numbers into your accounting program manually. The numbers in this report will not be exactly the same as your payroll. A GL is an accounting specific report that hits multiple accounts per item (example accrued and then paid out vacation hits the GL 6 times). This creates a full audit trail of the debits and credits for your accounting books and it is correct. 

VIEW: This will give you an on-screen simple overview of the chart of accounts. 

PDF: This will also give you an overview of accounts, but you can download and save to your computer or print. 

XML: This is an XML version used for integration with certain (non cloud-based) accounting systems. 

EXPORT: Use this to resend the data to your integrated accounting service. 

To find this report, follow these steps: Click Reports > Accounting > General ledger  

Remittance Report: This report is another one that is created when you close your remittance period. It shows all your remittance data since the last time you closed the period. Items will be broken down into company and employee portions. Use this report to report your numbers to CRA/MRQ when your remittance is due. Note, you can fully automate remittances to the CRA/MRQ with our ePay service  

To find this report, follow these steps: Click Reports > Accounting > Remittance report. 

Yearly 

Tax Filings: The T4, T4A and RL-1 reports will give you both Final and Interim copies of your required tax forms reports needed at year end. These are available to View or download in PDF or XML. You can download the report into an employee copy or company copy. The employee copies will have duplicate copies of the document. The company copy will have the employee tax document along with the company summary document.  

To find this report, follow these steps: Click Reports > Yearly > Tax Filings.  

Year to Date Journal: To create this report you will need to click “Create New Report” and it will pull in every pay run you have done since starting the New Year and break it down by employee, and by pay run. Earnings, benefits, deductions etc. will all be their own line item and then there is a total for each item to date. Available in PDF only. 

To find this report, follow these steps: Click Reports > Yearly > YTD Journal.  

Year to Date Summary: Just like the YTD Journal, to get the most recent report click “Create New Report.” You will get the same information as the YTD Journal, but only with totals by employee, it will not break it down by pay run. Available in View or PDF. 

To find this report, follow these steps: Click Reports > Yearly > YTD Summary.  

Pier Report: The Pier Report is available on the advanced accountant plan and above. It allows you to run a Pensionable Insurable Earnings Review on your employees before they are terminated or before the last pay of the year to ensure they have correctly contributed to CPP/EI. This is the same report CRA will run on your employee T4 slips when they are received. You can see more information on this report (KA-01198)
