As the name states, this report provides a summary of the payroll activity per employee for a particular period of time.

In Reports, go to Payroll Reports, and flick through all reports reading "Payroll Activity Summary".

Then select the report you'd like to export according to the period of time you need.

You will find a list of all employees paid during the period selected, and for each of them the total amounts for each payslip item group consolidated for the period chosen.

If you are after a Payroll Activity Summary for a particular employee, or a specific period of time, in Excel, we suggest you check out the Payroll Activity Summary Customised.

This report will give you a detail account per employee, per payrun, for each of the payslip items.

Once you select the period and export the report, you will be able to see for each employee and each pay cycle:

Detail on each payslip item line (not just the consolidated "Earnings" but all Earnings Rates)

Hours worked
