Payroll Comparison Report

Payroll Comparison Report

 Purpose 

This document outlines the process of completing the Payroll Comparison report within the Green Leaf Elevated System. This report is used to compare payroll totals between two different check dates. This allows clients to compare payroll totals between two check dates. This provides more accurate accounting of your payroll and potentially catch over payments or noticing trends such as increasing overtime or sick/pto time usage.

If you have any questions regarding the Payroll Comparison report within your system or its purpose, please reach out to your Payroll Specialist or the Department Email - i.e., payroll@greenleafbizsolutions.com email for more information.

  1. This report is generated using the location associated with the current payroll processing session. To compare against a different location or date, use the filter provided at the top of the report.

  1. On the left of the report you can see grouped categories that are being compared between the two payrolls. Deduction, Earning, Net Pay, Reimbursement and Tax. Each of these fields have a drop down to display more detailed information. We will use Earning as an example.

  2. Clicking on the dropdown reveals the more detailed items.

  3. The "Compare From" column is your current payroll and is comparing to "Compare To" column.

  4. The Variance column displays the difference between the two payrolls. A negative amount indicates your Compare From column is less than the Compare To column. 

Notes
Please note, the Compare To column updates based on the filtered payroll that is chosen.
