    Hi Barry2, 

     

    It does seem like an odd one based on the screenshot you sent.

     

    I had a look and the one called “Employee Example.jpg”, looks like the difference you’re seeing is because the gross payments figure in the summary doesn’t include some categories like allowances. Those get listed separately on the lower part instead, so if you add everything up, the totals between the reports and summary still should match. Another thing to check is if the Saturday pay is exempt for PAYG, as it will also throw the values off.  

     

    Regards,

Hi Genreve,

You are correct! There was an exemption for Saturday pay which was stuffing things up. 

Thanks for your help, you likely saved me many hours...

For anyone who searches this later, to check:

 

Go into payroll -> employees -> selected an unbalanced employee -> payroll details -> salary and wages -> select effected pay item (i.e Saturday pay) -> scroll down and remove the exemption.

Do an update event and hopefully things balance.
