The Payroll Report feature in myGroundForce allows users to automate and manage their payroll effectively, utilizing settlement data and information configured within myGroundForce.
This report provides a comprehensive view of all your employees' payroll information. You can approve individual payroll entries, and manually add extra pay, PTO (Paid Time Off), and reimbursements directly within the report. It's crucial to thoroughly check all employee information before approving payroll, as approval will lock the ability to edit that employee's information.
You can manually enter data into the payroll report using the PTO, Other, and Reimb columns. The Extra and Per Diem columns can be programmed to automatically enter information periodically through the system's Settings screen.
You can export the Payroll Report in various formats: Excel, PDF, and Print.
When exporting the Payroll Report without selecting any specific records, the system will generate a Payroll Report Summary (without detailed employee information).
When you select one or more checkboxes in the Payroll Report and then click on an export button, MyGroundForce will display the detailed payroll information for the selected employees, generating a separate file for each employee.
You can also click on an employee's name within the report to view detailed information about their payroll or to edit individual trip payroll amounts.
Drivers Payroll Report Tab: This tab displays payroll information for your driver employees, calculated according to their Employee Payroll Settings and available settlement data.
Non-Drivers Payroll Report Tab: In the Non-Drivers Payroll Report tab, you can view the payroll for non-driver employees based on their Employee Payroll Settings and Timesheet information (especially for hourly employees).
Pending Payroll Tab: The Pending Payroll Tab shows information from the settlement and Employees Timesheet that could not be processed due to incomplete or incorrect settings in MyGroundForce. To resolve these exceptions, navigate to the Entity Payroll Settings, Employee Payroll Settings, and Employees Timesheet to make the necessary adjustments. After making the corrections, you can click on the "Payroll Rerun" button to reprocess and resolve the pending items.
Payroll Exceptions Tab: The Payroll Exceptions tab lists active employees from your MyGroundForce Employee Registry whose payroll could not be generated. This tab helps you identify specific employees requiring attention in their system settings. You can then go back to the system's settings to adjust their configurations and "Rerun Payroll" to include them in the report.
The Payroll Report's display and calculations are designed to clearly differentiate between taxable and non-taxable payroll components, providing a comprehensive overview of earnings.
Here's how these key columns are presented and calculated:
'Subtotal' Calculation:
The 'Subtotal' column represents the taxable portion of the payroll.
It is calculated as: (Salary + Hrs value + LH + Shuttle + Spot + PTO + Extra + Other) - Per Diem
.
Example: If the combined total of other taxable components (Salary, Hrs value, LH, Shuttle, Spot, PTO, Extra, Other) is $1138.80 and 'Per Diem' is $240.00, the 'Subtotal' will be $898.80.
'Total Gross' Calculation:
The 'Total Gross' column provides the comprehensive sum of all payroll components, including both taxable and non-taxable amounts.
It is calculated by summing: (Subtotal + Per Diem + Reimb)
.
Example: If 'Subtotal' is $898.80, 'Per Diem' is $240.00, and 'Reimb' is $0.00, the 'Total Gross' will be $1138.80.
These calculations and display arrangements ensure that the 'Subtotal' accurately reflects the taxable portion of the payroll, while 'Total Gross' provides a clear and complete sum of all earnings for your drivers.
