When you use the Note pad in the payroll record you have no way of knowing which records have notes on them,

say you have an employee who uses unauthorized company money and you take the difference out of their check. We make a note on that paystub of what was taken out and why.

after months pass and someone asks what was this for? You can't easily go and find what it was for you have to look through each record for that employee and find what record has a note on it. Takes up a lot of extra time.

  • You can modify an existing payroll register report such as the 5-1-2-36 report or create a new report with such details as EE ID, Name, check date, check number, gross, deducts, net, etc. and include "notes" in the details row of the report. If you don't have security privileges to modify or create the report, your administrator can do it. If you modify an existing report to add Notes, save the report as a custom report.
    I hope this helps.
