PAYROLL OUTPUT REPORTS & BALANCING MODULE 1: READING OUTPUT REPORTS
Output Report Overview In addition to the edit reports, ADP provides several standard reports that are produced with the processing of each payroll. Some reports require a specific setup in order to produce, whereas others produce automatically. These reports provided the ability to verify/balance payroll entries and complete government summaries/forms. For ease of understanding, all report layouts have been designed in a similar fashion. For example, company information is always located along the top of the report. Although employee level and company level values may have their own sections, their locations will vary based upon the report and if they are applicable. Note: For details on the length of time each report must be retained, please refer to your provincial Employment Standards legislation. Clients have the option to access their reports via paper or online. These options are provided at the time of sale and can be changed at any point. The online reports are accessed through a variety of ways: Through the payroll product (for some interfaces) and/or through ROI (Reports on the Internet)
General Information This course supports all client facing products and there are some subtle differences. Throughout the course you will be advised when these variations from product to product are apparent. The main differences are between: Pay@Work and Pay Specialist (which we will call "Other") and Workforce Now. The "Other" products will reference branches and departments. Within Workforce Now, branches are not used. Furthermore, the term "Departments" will be replaced with "Pay Divisions". The report fields still reference the Branches and Departments, so when using Workforce Now you will be reminded that the branch field will always remain blank and the department's field is actually Pay Division.

PAYROLL OUTPUT REPORTS & BALANCING MODULE 1: READING OUTPUT REPORTS
Transaction Proof & Payroll Entries Report Overview During the implementation stage the client will select either the Transaction Proof Report or the Payroll Entries Report. The selected report will produce both during the preview process and as part of the payroll output package. These reports display both company level and employee level transactions that were processed during the current pay, along with any errors that were detected. The company level information is sorted in numerical order of the transaction codes and the employee level is sorted by employee TRAN (Branch, Department/ Pay division) then by Employee file number. There are no custom sorts available for this report. When errors occur the invalid input is displayed, with either single or multiple asterisks followed by an error message. The following chart outlines the different error types and what (if any) corrective action is required:
Report Error Messages Error Message 1 Asterisks * "Notification" 2 Asterisks** "Warning" 3 Asterisks*** "Action Required"
Error Definition Indicates that the transaction has been accepted, but the system has identified a potential problem. Validation is required. Indicates that the system has substituted an entry with a default value, because the field was either left blank or was invalid. Validation and corrective action may be required. Indicates that an entry was rejected and/or an employee is not being paid (example zero net pay error). Corrective action is required.
Report Error Examples Transaction Proof Report: Payroll Entries Report: This star error only appeared on the Transaction Proof report Means: Notification that a change has been made to the accumulator Transaction Proof Report: Payroll Entries Report: Means: Warning there is no Social Insurance Number which may cause problems, review and update to avoid any issues Transaction Proof Report: Payroll Entries Report: Means: Stop, this employee has not been paid. If this is incorrect an adjustment must be made. 2015 ADP, LLC.

Record of Employment (ROE) Information Report Overview The ROE Information report is only produced in the payroll output reports package. The report only generates for clients reporting Employment Insurance (EI). This report provides detail by pay period for 6 months, plus one pay period for insurable dollars and 1 year plus one pay period for insurable hours. By default this report is sorted by branch (other), department (other)/pay division (Workforce Now) and employee file number, however the client can request a customized sort. An ROE is required by the government whenever there is a break in employment, for example: Termination, laid off, on leave or interruption of earnings defined by Service Canada. When requesting an ROE or reactivating the employee, the system will clear all previous values and will begin a new EI History. Amended ROEs can be produced as long as the employee remains inactive or terminated. When an employee's ROE is requested the report will display the EI History on its individual page (per employee) and it will appear at the beginning of the report. ROE can be direct filed with the government or produced as a paper form. The ROE information report is an employee level report that is divided into three areas: Employee information, Insurable Earnings/Deductions and field totals.
Record of Employment (ROE) Information Report Fields The Record of Employment (ROE) Information Report holds the following information: Company Code Employee Name File number and Pay Division/Department Social Insurance Number (Note: These are unmasked on this report) First day worked (Hire Date) Pay dates Insurable earnings, hours, mnemonics and their corresponding per pay values Total insurable earnings, hours and values Future Earnings and Hours Employee Occupation Revenue Canada Taxation Number

PAYROLL OUTPUT REPORTS & BALANCING MODULE 2: BALANCING
Balancing Earning & Deduction Total Compare each of the fields to ensure that they balance. In this example all balance with the exception of the "Regular, YTD Units/hrs total". The Register shows 162.00 and the Totals Report shows 213.00. Further investigation will be required. Best Practice: If balancing is complete each pay, then the error must have occurred during this pay. **If the payroll is not balanced per pay, then all payrolls that have run during this year will need to be reviewed. Waiting to balance the reports creates a much larger task than necessary. Research shows that the error occurred on a previous payroll. To resolve, all Registers and Totals Reports branch 1, department 100 pages will need to be compared going back possibly several pays until the error is located.

Balancing the Totals Reports to the Daily Update Report Once the Register and Totals Report balance, the next stage is to balance the Totals Report to the Daily Update Report. The Daily Update Report provides the Tax totals for each of the various taxes. These totals will be balanced against the Totals Report.
Daily Update
Totals Report
Federal Tax Total = Federal Tax Provincial Tax Total = Provincial Tax Employment Insurance Total = EI Cont + EI (company portion) Can Pension Total= Can Pen + Can Pen (Company Portion) + QC Pen QPIP Total = QPIP + QPIP (Company Portion) Example: Daily Update Report EI Cont.: 8,721.73 Totals Report EI Cont.: 3,634.06 + Company Portion EI 5087.67 = 8,721.73 Therefore the EI Contribution balances.

Balancing the Daily Update to the CRA Statement of Account The CRA statements are sent out once a month. The taxes located on multiple Daily Update Reports must be added together in order to match the CRA statement total. The number of tax totals to be added together from the Daily Update Report is determined by the number of pay cycles that fall within the remit frequency. For Example: A client has a Monthly Tax Frequency which means the taxes must be remitted to the government on the 15th of the following month. The client’s payroll frequency is bi-weekly and they had thee pays this month. All taxes generated from the three pay dates that fall within the first and the end of the month, listed on the Daily Update Report, will need to be added together in order to balance to the CRA monthly statement. (PD7A)
Confirming the number of Cheques and Deposits The Totals Recap report provides the number of cheques, deposits and 2nd bank accounts that were produced each pay cycle. In addition this report also displays the total dollar values of cheques, deposits and 2nd bank account (Ded deps).
This company produced 16 cheques and 62 deposits for the pay date of July 20, 2012

Confirming a Manual Cheque Update When year to date adjustments are keyed they will appear on the payroll register with an "N" for payment type and "YTD" to state that this entry was an update only (No payments or Remittances were made). The details of what values were keyed can be found on the Payroll Register.
The number of updates completed within the pay cycle can be found on the Totals Recap Report under the "Memo Pays" area.
This client completed 4YTD adjustment this pay cycle.
Identifying when an Exemption will be Surpassed The Daily Update Report holds two important pieces of information regarding exemptions: The exemption amounts for each applicable tax authority The YTD totals for all tax authorities
This company has associated in Manitoba, so they have a MB business number 1233452666MT001. Their exemption is $760,000.00 and their YTD is only $6,225.83. They are a long way away from surpassing their exemption.

Record of Employment Information The ROE Information report holds all the values that are required in order to complete a Record of Employment. The hours, earnings, hire date, social insurance number and business number the employee is in.
Investigating with the Transaction Proof Reports Although this report is highly used by ADP associates for troubleshooting purposes, many clients as they become accustom with the ADP Mainframe begin to use this report for their own investigations. The Trans Proof Report provides the user with an easy way to investigate when something goes wrong. The timing of each entry takes place based upon how it was keyed in. The timing is controlled using Transaction codes which process in numeric sequence. The Trans Proof Report shows which codes were used for each entry and what fields on the ADP Mainframe were affected. For Example:
ADP Mainframe Field Names
Tran Codes
This change was made first: 49 DN25 000000250 = Deduction Number 25 was changed from $0.00 to $2.50 This change was made second: 72 DN85 000020000 = Deduction Number 85 was changed from $0.00 to $200.00
