Scenarios

Below are examples of running the Wage Type report. This is not a comprehensive list of every scenario.

Example 1 – View wage types in priority order.

In this scenario, I am training a new payroll processor and need to explain how wage types are prioritized during payroll processing. The trainee has requested a list of wage types organized in priority order. As a payroll processor, I am now going to run the Wage Type report to assist with their learning.

On the report selection screen:

  • Key Date:
    • Today’s date (default)
  • Wage Type Selection:
    • Do not change
  • Report Format:
    • Deduction Priority and Vendor Number

Report Format field set to Deduction Priority and Vendor Number.

  • Execute the report.

Wage types organized by priority displayed.

  • The results show all deductions in priority order. Deduction wage types used in arrears processing are assigned a priority from A (highest priority) to Z (lowest priority). In the arrears functions, deductions are sorted according to the assigned priority and processed in that order. The highest priority deductions are subtracted from the net amount first, then the next highest and so on in descending order until the net amount is used up.
  • I can export an Excel spreadsheet of the results for the trainee to save. 

Example 2 – View how much a wage type pays.

In this scenario, I have an employee who has a question about how much a wage type on their earnings statement pays. As a payroll processor, I am now going to run the Wage Type report to search for wage type 1052 – WSP Pierce. 

On the report selection screen:

  • Key Date:
    • Today’s date (default)
