The Retro Report identifies changes made to a pay period after payroll was already run. This helps you catch edits that may require adjustments in your payroll system.

Steps

1. Go to Reports > Retro Report.
   

2. In the Retro Report form, enter the following fields:

   • Start Date → First day of the pay period you want to review.

   • End Date → Last day of the pay period you want to review.

   • Group → Select a group of employees. Options include:

     • Specific Group

     • All Employees

     • All Employees with Changes

   • Date/Time Payroll for selected period was run → Enter the exact date and time payroll was pulled for that period. The report will only return changes made after this point.
     

3. Click Run Report.

   • The report will list employees and records that were updated after payroll was processed.

Example

Scenario:

• Today is 09/22/2025.

• You are running payroll for 09/08/2025 – 09/21/2025.

• You want to check if any changes were made to the prior pay period (08/25/2025 – 09/07/2025) after payroll was processed.

• Payroll for that period was run on 09/08/2025 at 12:30 PM.

Form Entries:

• Start Date: 08/25/2025

• End Date: 09/07/2025

• Group: All Employees

• Date/Time Payroll for selected period was run: 09/08/2025 12:30
  

The Retro Report will now show only changes made to the 09/08 - 09/21 pay period after 9/8 at 12:30 PM.

Helpful Tips / Related Settings

• Always use the exact date/time payroll was run to avoid false positives.
