Feeling stuck?

There are two sections - the Employer Summary and the Employee Details.

The Employer Summary

This provides a high-level summary of the payments/costs per employee. Totals are shown for each employee in the pay run.

The Employee Details Summary

Breaks down the pay type details by employee, displaying each employee’s, pay type, pay rate, units, quantity, gross and total.

The amount under Total is the payment amount needed to fund the pay.

Employees will receive their payslips showing a breakdown of their pay via email when we process a pay for them. They can also view this in the Thankyou Payroll Employee App.
