Example: Audit Workers with Net or Gross Variance

This example illustrates how to create an audit rule for comparing prior pay periods' gross and net to the current period.

You want to see if there are any significant differences with USA West Region workers' net and gross pay from the prior period payroll to catch any discrepancies. You also want to exclude the Executive pay group because that pay group normally has variances greater than 10%. You create an audit rule that finds workers in the USA West Region excluding Executive Pay Groups that have a net or gross variance greater than 10%.

Create a:

Executive (Monthly): Bonus Quarterly pay group.

Executive (Monthly): Regular (Monthly) pay group.

USA - Western US region.

Security: Set Up: Payroll (Reporting)
domain in the Core Payroll area.

Access the

Maintain Payroll Audit Configurations

task.

On the

Prior Period Comparison

tab, click

Create

Enter Net/Gross Variance Threshold (exclude Execs)
for the

Audit Rule Name

Select Worker
for the

Reporting Level

Add a row on the

Worker(s) to include

grid.

On the

Worker Eligibility Rule

column, select

Create Payroll Audit Worker Eligibility

Create 2 worker eligibility rules with these values:

Worker Eligibility Name	Field	Comparison	Value
Exclude: Executive Pay Groups	Pay Group Detail	not in the selection list	Executive (Monthly): Bonus Quarterly Executive (Monthly): Regular (Monthly)
Region: USA Western US	Region	in the selection list	USA - Western US

On the

Pay result(s) to include

grid, create 2 audit rule with these values:

Audit Detail Name	Severity	Payroll Calculation	Comparison	Percentage	Amount
Net > 10% Variance	Warning	Net	greater than	10	0
Gross > 10% Variance	Warning	Gross	greater than	10	0

Run a payroll calculation and then run the audit rule with the
