Payroll Inquiry
Payroll Inquiry reviews processed payroll. Payroll is the whole process of compensating staff — calculating earnings, withholding deductions, filing payroll taxes and delivering payment — and this is where a completed run is checked.

Using Payroll Inquiry
- Check the run before paying — a month with unusual gross or deductions usually means attendance or an allowance is wrong.
- Compare month on month. A sharp change on one employee is worth opening.
- Filter on unpaid to find what still needs settling through Employee Payments.
