The Control Panel can run Primary Payroll, Primary Payment Request, Secondary Payment Request, Shadow Payroll and/or Allowance Payment Request report types.
Employee Reporting
The Control Panel can generate and publish the reports depending on the payroll systems configuration. It looks at the Employee Reporting tab of the Payroll System screen to determine which report will be created and how the reports will be published for each payroll system.
Once the process has run it will show the Processed icon if the reports were generated and published. You can click on this icon to view the reports that were generated and published. A Generated but Not Published icon will show if the reports are only generated. You can click this icon to view the reports and manually publish them.
Note – If you do not use Compensation Worksheet Employee Reporting this process can be left alone. To ensure that no Employee Reporting is processed set the Control Panel Action to Do Not Generate or Publish Reports on the Employee Reporting tab for each payroll system.
Things to Note
For the assignment count, assignments must be active, have a primary payroll system, and an active Assignment Template that is not excluded from compensation worksheet creation.
For the Compensation Worksheet (CW) to be counted. the CW must be an effective, normal Comp Worksheet (not a draft or a retro).
For Payroll Reporting:
It looks at the Reporting tab of the Payroll System screen to determine which of these five report types are applicable for each payroll system. It ignores the checkbox in the first column of the Payroll Reports and Export grid and looks to see if reports have actually been configured or not. Additionally for Shadow Reporting it looks at the Include Shadow Payroll in Control Panel Reporting checkbox. The Control Panel will not generate Compensation Accumulation reports.
The payroll reporting status icon is smart enough to look at whether the reports are configured to be published to the portal or not. If they are configured to be published to the portal, the status will not go to complete until they are published. If they are not configured to be published to the portal, the status will go to complete once the reports are successfully created.
For Employee Reporting, similar to Payroll Reporting, the processing status icon is smart enough to look at whether employee reports are configured to be processed or not. If they are configured to be generated or published, the status will not go to complete until they are processed. If they are not configured to be generated or published, the status will go to complete without the reports being processed.
