Payroll Management Trends
Review payroll management trends for a selected payroll scope.
Purpose and access
Open Payroll → Reports → Payroll Management Trends. The payroll feature and payroll cost report permission are required; CSV export requires report-download permission.
Run the report
- Select the report in the report picker, then set the office and Date range for the period to review. Open More filters and choose Run Status: RELEASED.
- Choose Team and Employee as needed; use More filters to set the available Department, Payroll group and Component. Choose All permitted to include all available choices.
- Choose Run, inspect the results and use Export CSV if available. The export uses the selected permitted scope.
What the results show
The report includes: Month, Financial Year, Runs, Employees, Gross Total, Deductions Total, Net Total, Employer Contributions, Total Payroll Cost, Previous Payroll Cost, Cost Variance, Cost Variance Percent, YTD Gross, YTD Net, YTD Payroll Cost.
Example and troubleshooting
Compare a month’s payroll cost with the previous cost, variance and year-to-date totals, then investigate an unexpected change. If no rows appear, check the date range and scope, then confirm report access. Choose Report office, Team and Employee separately; clear a filter or widen the dates if a valid selection has no records.
Results and limits
Review the summary above the sortable result table and any available charts. Dates are inclusive in the viewer timezone; From must not follow To, and the range cannot exceed two years. If more than 2,000 results match, narrow the range or scope. Export CSV uses the selected scope and requires download permission.
