Payroll Reports
The first tab of Report Vault displays Payroll reports. Each time a payroll is processed, reports will automatically be sent to the Report Vault for your review. By default, the Check Date filter automatically shows reports for the most recent check date. To view previous reports, use the Check Date drop-down menu to select a different date.
While all reports are important, the most pertinent reports after processing payroll are the Payroll Summary, Payroll Register, and Invoice.
- Payroll Summary: This shorter report describes the total payroll cost, including direct deposits, taxes, and Checkwriters billing. The Transfers section of the Payroll Summary report lists each of these amounts, so you’ll know exactly how much you’ll be debited. We will always debit the day before the check date, and the numbers in the Transfers section will match the amounts on your bank statement.
- Payroll Register: This report resembles the Preprocess Register, which should be run before submitting each payroll. It will show each employee and their pay for the check date.
- Invoice: This report shows a breakdown of your billing.
Important: Only Payroll Reports from the last six months are stored in the Report Vault. If you need to access older Payroll Reports, they can be individually run under Reporting → Standard Reports.
Tax Reports
The Tax tab of the Report Vault displays Quarterly and Annual tax documents, including employer copies of Form W-2. These reports are listed in chronological order with the most recent report at the top.
Quarterly packages will typically be labeled “Quarterly_YYMMDD.pdf” with the year, month, and date of the last day of the quarter.
Example: The Quarterly package for Quarter 4 of 2024 will be labeled “Quarterly_241231.pdf.”
Employer copies of Form W-2 will be labeled “W2(YY)ER.PDF” with the last two digits of the tax year.
Example: The employer copies of Form W-2 for 2024 will be labeled “W224ER.PDF”
Other Reports
The Other tab of the Report Vault displays any reports – unrelated to a specific payroll processing – that have been uploaded for your company by Checkwriters. Checkwriters will send an email notification when a report is uploaded to this tab.
Important: Only “Other” Reports from the last six months are stored in the Report Vault.
